MEET STEVE HEABERLIN

Founder | Trusted Health Insurance Solutions Passionate Advocate for People | From Special Needs Support to Health Insurance Leadership

My career began with a deep-rooted passion for helping others, shaped by growing up in a family of 18 in Huntington, WV. From ages 14 to 18, I spent my entire summers volunteering at special needs camps and used my school study breaks to assist in special education classrooms. These experiences profoundly shaped my worldview and commitment to service.

This passion led to a historic opportunity: I was recruited, becoming the youngest of six individuals selected to help establish West Virginia's first group home for an autistic teen. I was also hired to work on social skills development with an extraordinary young man, one of the autistic savants who inspired the film Rain Man. At a time when autism awareness

was still in its infancy, these experiences taught me invaluable lessons in patience, compassion, trust, and communication.

Seeking financial stability, I transitioned into leadership and management roles with companies such as IBM and Food Lion. I also led the opening of U.S. Blue Dot Inc.'s second plant, where I served as second in command—the plant specialized in manufacturing Club Car golf cars' tops, frames, and windshields. In a strategic move, Club Car closed its own parts division and entered a non-compete agreement with our plant, allowing us to take over production of its components.

In 2014, I answered my calling by founding Trusted Health Insurance Solutions. Today, I help individuals and families navigate the complexities of life and health insurance with empathy, clarity, and a personal touch. My mission is simple: to build genuine, trusted relationships and make a difference in people's lives, one conversation at a time.
