About Us – McDowell Insurance Advisors
McDowell Insurance Advisors is a family-owned, faith-driven, independent insurance agency specializing in Medicare education, Medicare plan comparisons, and retirement insurance solutions for seniors nationwide.
Founded by husband-and-wife team Jason and Sheena McDowell, our agency is built on Christian values, honesty, and a deep commitment to helping seniors make confident, informed healthcare decisions.
Based in Holly Springs, North Carolina, and serving clients across all 50 states, we have helped over 100,000 seniors navigate Medicare, health insurance, and life insurance with clarity and confidence. With 15+ years of experience in the insurance industry, Jason and Sheena have created a trusted national resource for seniors seeking unbiased Medicare advice and personalized support.
As an independent Medicare agency, we are contracted with 80+ top-rated insurance carriers, giving our clients access to thousands of Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement (Medigap), and Part D prescription drug plans. This allows us to compare options across the entire market ensuring every recommendation is tailored to what’s best for you, not the insurance companies.
What truly sets us apart is our client-first model. All of our advisors are salary-based (not commission-based), licensed, insured, and trained daily on the latest Medicare updates and industry changes. This structure eliminates sales pressure and ensures you receive ethical, transparent, and genuinely unbiased Medicare guidance.
Whether you’re turning 65, already on Medicare, or helping a parent or loved one with their coverage, our mission is simple:
Educate first. Guide with integrity. Treat every client like family.

Jason McDowell – Founder & CEO
Jason’s journey in the insurance and Medicare industry began with a simple realization: seniors needed someone they could trust. After years in the corporate insurance world, he witnessed firsthand how often Medicare beneficiaries were rushed, misinformed, or pressured into plans that didn’t fit their needs.
Driven by a calling to do things differently, Jason committed to building an agency where education comes before enrollment and where seniors receive honest, unbiased guidance every step of the way.
Jason is known for his ability to simplify complex Medicare topics, communicate with authenticity, and lead with a servant’s heart. His leadership philosophy is shaped by his Christian values:
“We believe our work is a form of ministry. We’re here to help, to protect, and to guide, just like we’d want someone to do for our own parents.” - Jason McDowell
Under his direction, McDowell Insurance Advisors has grown into a trusted national resource, serving over 100,000 clients across the United States.
Sheena McDowell – Co-Founder & Partner
Sheena is the heart and grounding force of the agency. Her compassion, patience, and ability to connect personally with seniors have become defining qualities of the McDowell brand.
Before co-founding the agency, Sheena saw how overwhelming Medicare felt for many seniors, particularly those trying to navigate the system without support or guidance. She made it her mission to provide seniors with clarity and confidence, treating each client with the same kindness and respect she would want for her own family.
Sheena leads with grace, warmth, and unwavering dedication to doing what’s right:
“Every senior deserves to feel heard, valued, and supported. Our job is to make Medicare simple, understandable, and personalized.” - Sheena McDowell
Her commitment to ethics and education has helped shape the agency’s client-first culture a culture that stands out in an industry too often focused on sales.
A Mission Rooted in Family, Faith, and Service
Together, Jason and Sheena built McDowell Insurance Advisors to feel like more than an insurance agency. Their shared vision was to create a place where:
-
Seniors are genuinely cared for
-
Advice is unbiased and pressure-free
-
Faith and integrity guide every decision
-
Every client is treated like family
Their advisors are salary-based, not commission-based, ensuring that guidance is always honest, transparent, and focused on what’s best for the client not the carrier.
As a team, the McDowells have cultivated a nationwide reputation for trust, compassion, and excellence in Medicare education.
Building a Legacy for Seniors and Future Generations
Beyond their professional achievements, Jason and Sheena see their work as a long-term calling. They aim to build a legacy their children can be proud of, one grounded in faith, ethical leadership, and genuine service to others.
Their vision for the future includes expanding Medicare education nationwide, deepening community outreach, and becoming the most trusted Medicare resource in the country.

Founder Q&A: Jason & Sheena McDowell
Co-Founders of McDowell Insurance Advisors
Q1: What inspired you to start McDowell Insurance Advisors?
Jason: Over 15 years in the insurance industry, I saw seniors overwhelmed by confusing Medicare information and often pressured into plans that weren’t right for them. Sheena and I wanted to create a faith-driven, client-first agency where education comes before enrollment. We wanted seniors to feel informed, protected, and confident in their decisions.
Sheena: I wanted to make Medicare simple and personal. So many seniors felt lost or rushed through the process. We built an agency that treats every client like family, listening, explaining options, and guiding without pressure.
Q2: What makes your agency different from other insurance agencies?
Jason: We’re independent and contracted with 80+ carriers, giving our clients access to thousands of plans nationwide. But the biggest difference is our client-first, salaried advisor model. Our advisors are trained daily, licensed, and incentivized to put clients’ best interests first, not the carrier’s.
Sheena: And we do it all for free. Our services come at no cost, with no obligation. We work for our clients, not insurance companies, which is rare in this industry.
Q3: Why is Medicare your primary focus?
Sheena: Medicare can be confusing, especially for people turning 65 or switching plans. Seniors need clear guidance on Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Supplements, and Part D. Our mission is to educate and empower seniors so they can make decisions with confidence.
Jason: We want every senior to feel confident that they have the right coverage without overpaying, missing benefits, or worrying about penalties.
Q4: How does your faith influence your business?
Jason: Faith drives every decision we make. Honesty, integrity, and compassion aren’t just words, they guide how we treat every client.
Sheena: Our values shape our culture and our interactions. We treat seniors like family, educate first, and never compromise on ethics. That approach has earned trust nationwide.
Q5: What has been your proudest achievement so far?
Sheena: Helping over 100,000 seniors across the country enroll in Medicare, health, and life insurance plans while providing clarity and peace of mind.
Jason: Watching our advisors grow into trusted guides and seeing families feel confident about their healthcare decisions. That’s what makes this business meaningful.
Q6: What advice would you give someone turning 65 and approaching Medicare enrollment?
Jason: Don’t wait. Educate yourself, ask questions, and get a professional review. Medicare is not one-size-fits-all, and making the right choice now will save stress and money later.
Sheena: Find someone you can trust to explain your options clearly. That’s what we do every day, and it’s what seniors deserve.
Q7: What’s next for McDowell Insurance Advisors?
Jason: We want to expand our Medicare education nationwide, continue serving seniors with integrity, and grow our team of highly trained advisors.
Sheena: Our vision is simple: to be the most trusted Medicare resource for seniors and a company that demonstrates that ethics, faith, and family values can thrive in business.
