James Ruiz

I may be new to the insurance industry, but I am experienced in working with insurance companies. Prior to joining Flanigan-Leavitt, I worked in healthcare communicating with patients about their insurance coverage.

I developed a passion for educating patients and having relationships with them and the insurance companies. I found that the biggest issue with healthcare coverage was the lack of communication about policies being purchased, and I began jumping over every hurdle to make sure patients were being covered. However, I was limited in what I could do and wanted to work in a role that helped me further develop this skillset. As an account manager at Flanigan-Leavitt, I can do exactly that.

Communication is easily my best skill. I am thorough while still brief and informative. I also focus on listening, because it helps me know exactly how to help clients and we develop better relationships.

In my free time, I like to indulge in anything music related. I love concerts and practicing on the guitar and piano. I’m hoping to expand my skills into other instruments, too. I also enjoy powerlifting, boxing, hiking in the Sierra Nevadas, swimming in the Tahoe/Truckee area, and camping.
