Jason Van Valkenburg

President

I was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma and played baseball at Phillips University and Northeastern State University, graduating with degrees in Biology and Educational Administration. After teaching at Union Public Schools, I was employed as a Market Executive for a Fortune 500 company. Soon thereafter, I started our agency. My wife Becca and I have three children (Emerson, Jax, and Hayden) and can be found on the baseball field, basketball court, cross country course, or piano studio in our free time.

As the president, my goal and promise to our clients is to provide them with simple solutions and uncommon service in an ever-changing insurance environment. Our agents, managers, and staff are committed to educating and empowering our policyholders. We will provide guidance and expertise while managing our clients’ risk. Because of our access to multiple providers in almost all lines of insurance, we will customize plans to fit our clients’ wants and needs.

Russell Scott

Chief Administrative Officer

I was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I played rugby at Oklahoma State University where I graduated with a degree in Finance and a minor in Accounting. My wife, Erica, and I married in 2009 and have three wonderful children Rory (8), Sydney (6) and Reince (5). I’ve also been a licensed insurance professional with Medicare in the center of it all for more than 15 years.

One thing I don’t take for granted is getting the privilege to meet with individuals and independent agents every week to discuss insurance needs in today’s ever-changing benefits environment. The companies our agency hand-picked to represent have become the leaders in the industry and our vision is to develop an elite, highly-trained and ethical agent network to educate, inform and empower Medicare beneficiaries throughout the state of Oklahoma.

Our agents, managers, and staff are committed to educating and empowering our policyholders. Because of our access to multiple insurance companies we will customize plans to fit our clients’ wants, needs and budget.

Melissa Hanes

Agent Development Director

I was born in Oklahoma and raised in Neosho, MO. My husband (Derek) and I have 6 children and 6 sweet grandchildren who we adore. It wasn’t until 2009 when I moved back to Oklahoma that I started my insurance career and developed a passion for educating seniors on their rights and options regarding Medicare. Over the last decade I’ve been helping this under served population by empowering them to make the best insurance decisions for their individual healthcare needs.

In 2019 I resigned my position as Sales Manager for one of the nation’s largest Medicare insurance carriers to join the amazing team at OKMedicareHelp. I provided support, training and mentorship to hundreds of independent insurance agents around the state of Oklahoma and gave them the tools they needed to make the right impact for Medicare beneficiaries. The experience I gained in my previous role gave me a unique look at how to help navigate the complexities of Medicare for both Medicare beneficiaries and agents alike.

I pride myself on operating with the highest integrity and having a heart to serve our local senior community. I would be honored to help you navigate the complexities of Medicare and be of service for all your insurance needs.
