Ahoy! My name is Jack Gonzalez. I am no landlubber, but I am the creator and CEO of New York Ave Insurance (NYAVE INS, Inc.). A small-town company with big-city capabilities. After sailing on the high winds of one of the nation’s largest insurance brokerage company for thirteen years, I recognized my professional calling and became an independent agency maintaining a neighborly disposition in helping all of my client-family navigate the ever-changing labyrinth of the insurance world. I am available to help you establish affordable health insurance. In addition, I will happily discuss your options in building and securing future security and wealth in-line with your income. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve you.
Hey ya’ll! My name is Shauna Lea and I am your go-to for anything on the administrative side. That’s my wonderfully sweet hubby, Timothy, in the photo with me. 🙂 I have 10 plus years in the legal profession and have 14 plus years in the health insurance industry, all thanks to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I can help you with document preparation, should you need that service as well. I am your gal when you email into the office and one of the voices that greet you as you call in. I look forward to meeting you and thank you for being the wonderful part of what we do!

Hello! My name is Nathan Ridgway, and I am one of the agents at New York Avenue Insurance. Pictured is my beautiful wife and high-school sweetheart Abbey. When I am not serving my clients, I am normally playing (or watching) basketball, or football. I have been in the insurance industry for two years, and after spending time on the corporate side, felt called to serve people on a more personalized level. I have extensive experience with Medicare, and I would be honored to protect you or your loved ones through health, life, or supplemental solutions as well.
Hey There! My name is Stefan Bratic. I help people find insurance solutions that fit their budget and needs, including health, life, group, and other coverage options. With 9 years of experience, I take pride in providing responsive, relationship-focused service and making insurance easier to understand. I work hard to help clients feel confident and informed when choosing coverage that protects what matters most. When I’m not working, you can find me spending time with my beautiful wife Erica, baby Noah, and lovable lab Brady, or out surfing and fishing. I look forward to helping you find the right coverage for your needs.
