Hi, I’m Eric. I’ve called Nashville home since 2002. My wife, Wendy, and I relocated from Iowa so she could pursue music. Specifically, East Nashville is our home base, and I’ve been heavily involved in the neighborhood for over two decades. I’ve served as president of the Lockeland Springs Neighborhood Association, president of the Historic East Nashville Merchants Association, and served other groups and nonprofits you can read about here.
Eric Jans Insurance started in 2004 because I wanted to help people find better solutions to their health and life insurance needs. I have a knack for providing a low-pressure, friendly and efficient environment while making solid connections with people. By understanding the ever-changing insurance industry, I’ve been able to help a wide network of businesses and individuals. These connections were forged organically through my active engagement within the community.
I’m proud to be an advocate for my clients. While my client list has grown significantly over the course of twenty years, I’m still the person who answers the phone and does the research.
I have served on Agent Advisory Panels for BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, Humana, Bright Health, Oscar and CIGNA, helping them understand the needs of agents and consumers. As Eric Jans Insurance has expanded, it has allowed me to become licensed in multiple states and additional products while mentoring other independent insurance agents on how to expand their own businesses.
When I’m not working, Wendy and I are parenting and homeschooling our two children, who are the light of our lives. I walk our East Nashville neighborhood every day, contribute to community causes, read when there’s time, and love that our house is full of music.
