20 Years Helping Floridians Navigate Health Insurance

2006
Founded in Florida
Serving Florida Families

Insurance Advisors of Florida was founded in 2006 by Chad and Tina Kuga Garrell — a licensed insurance professional and a seasoned HR executive who believed Floridians deserved a trusted guide, not just a salesperson. Chad's background as a Licensed Florida Nurse gives him a rare clinical perspective: he doesn't just explain plan options, he helps clients understand what their coverage actually means for their real-world health outcomes.

Tina brought deep expertise in human resources and employee benefits from her leadership career at Universal Orlando. Together, they built an agency rooted in education, transparency, and genuine care for every client's outcome. That philosophy hasn't changed in 20 years.

Today, Insurance Advisors of Florida is a Florida Blue Top 100 Agency with a licensed team serving individuals, families, and businesses throughout the Sunshine State — with the same hands-on personal approach Chad and Tina established on day one.
