Hi my name is Mike Elman and I'm just a 35 year old semi-cool geek interested in golf, web programming, outing insurance scammers, standing up for the little guy and anything gadget or tech related. Robots will one day rule the world!
I was born and raised in North Carolina and have traveled quite a bit. I attended NC University at Chapel Hill for business and dropped out to sell insurance for five years before going back to school for a CIS degree and never looked back.
Now, in addition to my top-secret job with the government (really!) I write on insurance related topics, especially <a href=”http://www.mikeslifeinsuranceadvice.co... insurance</a>. After seeing a lot of the shifty things that go on in the industry, my goal is to out the scammers, support the good guys and generally help people be a little more informed about whom they choose for insurance.
