  Join us on Tuesday, November 10th for The next southern nevada luncheon

  
  

  Medicare isn't just a consideration for those approaching retirement—it’s equally important for anyone helping aging parents navigate healthcare decisions or planning ahead for their own future. Join Las Vegas native, Bishop Gorman graduate, former Major League Baseball pitcher, and Medicare specialist Taylor Cole for an engaging discussion of often-overlooked benefits, common misconceptions, and insider insights that can help you and your loved ones make more informed decisions.

  

  Taylor Cole is a licensed insurance broker who specializes in Medicare plans. He works locally with Tyler Insurance Group and is contracted with several insurance companies offering plans throughout the valley. He is licensed in 26 states and manages a team of around 20 agents who all specialize in Medicare. A Las Vegas local, Taylor attended high school at Bishop Gorman, where he played baseball and basketball, and went on to play Major League Baseball for the Los Angeles Angels and Toronto Blue Jays. His wife is a Chief Deputy District Attorney locally on the Gangs/Major Violators team, and they have a four-year-old daughter named Cozie.
