Making Insurance Easy, One Step at a Time
Rob Rockey
Independent Broker
I’m a proud U.S. Army Gulf War Veteran with 12 years of service. After my time in the military, I attended Southeastern University and have been happily married to my amazing wife, Dawn, for over 20 years. Together, we have three wonderful kids who keep life fun and busy!
Before starting my journey in insurance in 2014, I spent 17 years serving in youth ministry. That experience really shaped my heart for helping others. I got started in insurance by focusing on Medicare Advantage Plans, Medicare Supplement Plans, and Part D Prescription Drug Plans.
I truly love what I do, and that passion led me to start 1st Choice Health Plans. My goal is to be the first choice for individuals and families looking for the right plan that fits their needs and budget—especially fellow veterans. Making sure people get the benefits they deserve is something I care deeply about.
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll usually find me spending time with my family, fishing, playing pool, or cheering on The Fighting Irish and The Bucs!
Empowering you is at the heart of what I do
Since 2014, I have been navigating the world of Insurance to provide the best coverage for my clients!
