About the author
Mike Moore
A licensed insurance producer who spent years building his own health insurance book of business past $1 million a year in production, before becoming the local, independent Medicare advisor behind Big Sioux Benefits.
Mike Moore got his insurance license in 2017. Before that, he worked as a market maker on the CBOE, CFE, and CBOT trading floors, pricing risk for a living — a background that carried straight into insurance. He built his own health insurance book of business past $1 million a year in production, working one-on-one with people to find coverage that actually fit their situation.
Today he's the local, independent Medicare advisor behind Big Sioux Benefits, serving Sioux Falls and the surrounding area. Independent means he's not tied to one carrier: he compares plans across the companies he represents and gives straight, no-pressure guidance, the same way he would for his own family.
