I was born in Provo, UT but moved shortly thereafter to Southern California. I grew up in Murrieta, CA on a racing quarter-horse ranch. My childhood was spent mucking dirty stalls, pulling weeds and various other jobs on the ranch. I learned the value of hard work, but also gained a love for the outdoors. One of my fondest memories as a 14 year old kid was spending 10 days on horseback, toting our pack horses in the High Sierras in Central California, living off the land and sleeping under the stars.

I came back to Utah in 1995 to attend BYU. I currently live in Spanish Fork with my beautiful wife Melonie. In 2022 we celebrate our 20th wedding Anniversary.   We have four AWESOME children Kyla (16), Logan (14), Ashlyn 11, and Londyn (8). They are growing up fast. Logan and Kyla love everything sports while Ashlyn and Londyn love to dance and the performing arts. I consider myself lucky and blessed to be called their dad.

HOBBIES & INTERESTS:

BUSINESS BACKGROUND:

Born in Argentina, raised in Sunny Southern California moving to Utah was super cold! But it has been a great place to live, work and play.

I have been with OHP since 2016. It has been a great experience; I have built great relationships with amazing people. It has truly been amazing to hear clients say, “wow! that’s all I have to pay for that plan?”

When I’m not providing clients with amazing savings on awesome plans, I am helping my husband at our Mechanic Shop, Ken’s Master Auto in Salem, doing anything I can to help.

PLAY TIME equals FAMILY TIME, with only one kid home out of 2 it’s easy to just load the trailer and go for the weekend camping, Sand dunes with the RZR is so much fun as well as just exploring. Sometimes we even get the pleasure of having our oldest and his fiancé (Wedding scheduled for August 3, 2019) join the fun.

I also love animals and have a small Zoo at home, 3 dogs and 2 ferrets. They are all super spoiled. Including homemade meals that I truly believe have kept Cancer from returning on my 11-year-old Rottweiler.

Having family in California, it’s still a MUST to go visit them as often as possible and sneak in a quick day at the Beach.

I grew up in Spanish Fork, Utah eating an unhealthy amount of ice-cream cones from Macey’s grocery store. My family is everything to me. I love spending time with my husband, reading Harry Potter and playing soccer and pickleball, especially on Sunday afternoons. I decided to be a part of Optimized Health Plans team because there is no greater feeling than helping someone save a little extra money each month to maybe buy an ice cream cone, skydive, or maybe even take a trip to Disneyland! Life is full of adventure and Optimized Health Plans can be the first step to helping you live a better, more enjoyable life!

I grew up in Orlando, FL and then moved to Utah my senior year of high school. I miss the beach, but I have learned to love the mountains and charm the Utah has to offer. I love my two dogs Bronco and Sheriff and they keep me busy on the weekends when the weather is nice with going on hikes and exploring all the beauty that this great state has to offer. After playing 4 years of college volleyball, I graduated with my bachelor’s in business from Utah Valley University.

I am the middle child in my family right in between my older sister with her husband and my younger brother with his wife. I love my family with all my heart and love when all our schedule’s line up and we are all able to all be together.

I love my job and helping people realize how affordable health insurance can be. It really makes my day when they ask “how much a month” after I quote them.

I grew up in Redmond, Oregon where I spent most of my days playing sports! I played Basketball, Soccer and Tennis during my High School years. After graduating I was able to volunteer as a missionary and live in England for 2 years. It was an amazing experience and I learned that I loved helping people! I then went to BYU-Idaho for a year, meanwhile I was writing Jessika, who I met while in England, and is now my amazing wife! Jessika is from West Jordan, Utah and I was fortunate enough to be able to transfer to BYU, so I could be closer to her. We got married October 10th, 2020. Jessika is currently attending UVU and is studying Health Education.

I am currently studying Statistics with an emphasis in Applied Analytics. I have learned so much and am extremely fortunate to have joined Optimized Health Plans as the Chief Leak Finder (CLF) and be able to apply what I have been learning in my major. As the CLF I make sure that we are receiving commissions for the clients that we have helped. This enables us to reach out to even more people, so they too save on their Health Insurance. I have been able to help clients save on Life Insurance plans, which is another role that I have here at OHP. My goal is to not push for the higher premium products with life and health insurance, but to help you save so you can focus on more important things in your life.

Lauren loves a good time, which is why she loves Health Insurance! She currently resides in Spanish Fork, UT with her husband and two kids. When she’s not looking for subsidies for her clients or a great deductible, she loves to travel, bake, and spend time with her family on adventures. Lauren loves being a part of the Optimized Health Insurance team and is thankful every day that she gets to work in an industry that she loves!
