Why Insurance? It all started back 45 years ago in Naperville, Illinois when John Matsock & Associates was founded.
Growing up in an "insurance family" Mark left for Arizona State University and graduated in 1980 with a Bachelor of Science in Insurance from the College of Business. His first job was as a group representative with Great West Life, a major North American Group Health Insurance Company. In his 4 year stint he led the company's national sales force in group for 3 of the years in cases sold. It was time to move on.
Mark opened the Phoenix office of Amos Lovitt Downey & Touche (ALD&T) when they were the largest insurance agency in the state.
His knowledge and need for a Phoenix based company resulted in the formation of Mark J. Matsock & Associates.
Quoted as "the greatest place to work next to Disneyland". Mark has grown the business utilizing his keen awareness of agency profiles and corporate models.
In a business filled with negative connotations; Health, Death, Disability--the "we care attitude" was finely tuned.
His national recognition for his understanding of the key mechanics to a successful self funded program have been well recognized by national insurance carriers and national corporations alike.
His passion for education and communication of benefits to the employee level and understanding is recognized in his relationship to CCP(Corporate Cardio Program). Mark focuses on a strong healthy business profile for his clients.
