is a graduate of Wichita State University with a degree in Business Administration, and then earned his MBA from the University of Arizona. A late bloomer to the insurance world, Dean joined with what was then GE Capital Assurance in Overland Park, KS, as a captive agent selling long term care insurance for Genworth in 1999, and after earning the title of Master Agent, broke free of the captive status and served as a consultant to Personalized Brokerage Services in Topeka, KS, when they were developing their LTC Division. For 10 years Dean managed the Senior Products Division of Forrest T. Jones & Company in Kansas City, MO. While serving in this position he quickly understood the need to guide individuals who needed assistance when they became Medicare eligible. This in turn became the major thrust of the division, and thousands of prospective clients were assisted, primarily members of the Missouri Retired Teachers Association. Dean became widely known as “The Medicare Man” throughout the association of more than 25,000 members.

Dean then formed his own agency, Senior Products Insurance, which is now located in Shawnee, KS, and eventually sold his book of business to a firm in Iowa that specializes in managing and servicing insurance clients on behalf of agents. Dean is licensed to market life and health insurance products in 11 states.
