For Veterans & Military Families

You served us. Now let me serve you.

Life insurance built for veterans and military families — covering the gaps SGLI and VGLI leave behind, with honest advice and no pressure.

Tyler Shaffer, Life Insurance Specialist
Built For Veterans

Coverage that respects your service.

Most agents don't understand military life, transitions, or service-connected health conditions. I do — and I work with carriers who underwrite veterans fairly.

The VGLI Problem

SGLI is great. VGLI gets expensive — fast.

When you transition out, SGLI converts to VGLI — but the premiums climb steeply as you age, and the coverage was never designed to follow you for life. Most veterans need civilian coverage layered on top, or as a full replacement before VGLI prices them out.

Health History

Service-connected conditions, fairly underwritten.

PTSD, sleep apnea, back injuries, hearing loss, TBI — common ratings shouldn't mean a flat decline or wildly inflated rates. I work with carriers who actually understand military health records and underwrite them properly.

The Second Mission

Protecting your family after the uniform.

Whether you're still active, recently separated, or twenty years out — protecting your spouse, kids, mortgage, and retirement income is the next mission. My job is making sure your family is taken care of no matter what happens.

Protection I Offer

Built around what you need to protect.

I work with over 30 A+ rated carriers, which means I can shop the entire market and match your situation to the right plan — including carriers who specialize in veteran underwriting.

01 / Mortgage Protection

Mortgage Protection

If something happens to you, your family keeps the house. Coverage designed to pay off or pay down your mortgage so your spouse and kids aren't forced to sell or scramble.

  • Coverage matched to your loan balance and term
  • Living benefits for critical and chronic illness
  • Return-of-premium options available
02 / Final Expense

Final Expense Protection

Simple, affordable coverage built to handle funeral costs, medical bills, and end-of-life expenses — so your family doesn't pull from savings during the hardest moment of their lives.

  • Easy qualification, often no medical exam
  • Coverage that never expires or increases in cost
  • Works alongside VA burial benefits to fill gaps
03 / Income Protection

Income Protection

Your paycheck is the engine that runs your household. If you're no longer here, this coverage replaces the years of income your family was counting on.

  • Replaces years of lost income for your family
  • Coverage scaled to your earning potential
  • Living benefits if you become seriously ill
04 / Retirement Protection

Retirement Protection

Make sure the money you've worked your whole life to save is still there when you need it. Strategies that complement your pension or TSP with guaranteed income you can't outlive.

  • Guaranteed lifetime income options
  • Principal protection from market loss
  • Tax-advantaged growth strategies
How It Works

Four simple steps. No pressure, ever.

From the first conversation to policy in hand, here's exactly what to expect when working with me.

Step 01

Discovery Call

A relaxed 15-minute conversation. I learn about your situation, your goals, and what's on your mind. No applications, no pitch.

Step 02

Custom Quote

I shop 30+ A+ rated carriers and bring back real options that fit your budget, with the pros and cons laid out clearly.

Step 03

Easy Application

If you decide to move forward, I walk you through the application step-by-step. Most policies don't even require a medical exam.

Step 04

Ongoing Support

Annual reviews, policy questions, beneficiary updates — I'm your point of contact for as long as the policy is in force.
