Mike is Senior Vice President of The Horton Group, one of the largest privately-held, multiline insurance agencies specializing in Insurance, Risk Advisory, and Employee Benefits. He joined Horton in 1989 as one of the founding partners of the benefit brokerage and consulting division. His leadership and innovative drive have helped the division earn continuous growth and gained him recognition as a thought leader in the industry.

Mike’s career has been based on his unwavering passion for expanding accessibility and long-term affordability of health care.  His involvement legislatively, in the industry, and the community has had a profound influence on the way he presents healthcare options to his clients. Mike continuously looks for innovative ways to assist employers with long-term strategies and has helped many evolve to healthcare models with emphasis on product understanding, consumerism through cost transparency, prevention, and proper engagement for all generations.

Mike earned his Bachelor’s Degree from Roosevelt University and an MBA from Lewis University. He received his Certified Financial Planner® (CFP®) designation from the American College and is a Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU). Mike most recently received a Group Benefits Associate (GBA) designation through the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans at the Wharton University of Pennsylvania. Mike also has a Professional Certificate in Public Finance from the University Of Chicago Harris School Of Public Policy.

Mike serves and has served on numerous advisory boards for insurance carriers and related industries, with his most current service on the Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield of Indiana Agent Advisory Committee. He was also an agent advisory committee member of HCSC’s Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois. Mike serves on the Government Relations Committee of the Illinois Independent Agents and testified several times to state legislative committees and co-authored several white papers on healthcare reform. He has served on the Governance Board of Advocate South Suburban Hospital for the past 15 years and was Chair for three. Mike also serves on their Quality Management Oversight Committee. He is past president of United Way Metro South Suburban.

At the national level, Mike is regarded as an industry expert. He is the past chairman of the Big ‘I” National Health Care Task Force in Washington D.C. and currently serves as the group’s Health Care Liaison, which supports their government affairs efforts on healthcare reform. The Big “I” is a national alliance of more than 250,000 insurance agencies and their employees. This year Mike was awarded a seat on the Legislative Council of the National Association of Health Underwriters (NAHU) in Washington, D.C., which represents over 100,000 health benefit specialists who work diligently to ensure all Americans have access to high-quality, affordable healthcare and related services. 

Some words from Mike:

“It is an honor to continue working in multiple capacities for my clients as the years ahead will certainly be challenging for both the healthcare and health insurance industries, even aside from COVID-19’s impact.  I am confident Horton will continue to come out stronger and more  valuable to customers and carriers as we go through these tests.” 

Mike regularly speaks on the challenges of healthcare and to the community, businesses, and state legislative leaders.
