Who is J.R. McCollough

J.R. McCollough - Better Call JR

Originally from the Northeast, I grew up the "old fashioned" way. My first job at an early age was learning how to pack and load up antiques for my grandparents business. I left the east coast in 1999 and ended up at Vanderberg AFB after I joined the USAF as a Videographer.  There I worked alongside some great people assisting NASA documenting space launches, as well as working on a variety of other productions. I consider enlisting to be one of the best decisions I have made.  The USAF taught me the importance of quality of life, service before self and persistently achieving excellence by going above and beyond. 

I left the USAF in 2004 and headed back east with the intention of continuing to serve by finishing up my B.S. in Psychology and working towards earning my Psy.D in Counseling Psychology. One of my proudest moments was when I was elected President of the Psychology Club and worked tirelessly to organize community and student workshops, and increasing membership from a handful of students to the hundreds.

As is life, I was at a crossroads and had to make a decision. Do I dedicate another 5-7 years and add another $120k+ in student debt or do something that I always wanted to do, and get into sales. I sold everything from mattresses to windows and gutters, and I failed, miserably. Eventually I found my calling when I made the decision to get my health and life insurance license in 2007.  I could continue to serve as an Independent Insurance Agent making sure people are protected with the best Medicare and health insurance plans across this great country.

I moved down to Texas in 2008, and I eat, sleep and breathe Medicare, Health Insurance and Life Insurance. I have helped THOUSANDS of consumers understand their local, state and federal assistance options. I pride myself on offering the BEST customer service that you have experienced. It can be very challenging reaching a representative at an insurance company and being placed on eternal hold. I have partnered with over 30+ insurance companies and can usually get things done faster with a quick phone call or email. Best of all, my services are completely FREE.

I'm happily married to the most supportive and incredible woman, and we're blessed with two amazing kids. She's not only my rock, but also a culinary enthusiast. Every meal she prepares is a testament to her passion, creativity and love. Life with my family is an adventure, and I wouldn't have it any other way!"

Feel free to give me a call or contact me if I can be of service.
