A Little About Me
I'm Eric Hufstetler, a new client agent here at Bird Dog. When you're shopping for coverage, I'm one of the first people you'll talk to, and my job is to make that first experience a good one, no runaround, no pressure, just straight answers and real options.
My specialties are auto and life insurance. They might sound like an odd pair, but to me they're two halves of the same job. Auto insurance protects you and your family in the risk you take every single day, the drive to work, the school run, the highway trip. Life insurance protects the people who depend on you if the worst happens. One covers today, the other covers everything after, and I think both deserve more attention than most people give them.
Because Bird Dog is independent, I'm not selling you one company's product. I compare multiple top-rated carriers on both your auto and your life coverage, walk you through the trade-offs in plain language, and let you decide. My goal is that you drive away, so to speak, actually understanding what you bought and why.
