Meet Lou

I’ve spent over 30 years in the benefits world — first as a broker, then as a reformer. I know what it’s like to walk into renewal meetings where 9% rate hikes are called wins and employees get blamed for “overusing” their benefits. But here’s the truth: the system is rigged. Insurers profit more when your costs go up — and your people suffer in silence.

I’ve lived those failures personally and professionally. That’s why I left the traditional model behind and built the PLAN System — a proven framework that helps companies lower costs, improve care, and transform their health plan into a true asset.

If you're a CFO or HR leader who feels trapped — like you're paying more and getting less year after year — you’re not alone. And you’re not powerless. You can build a plan that takes better care of your people and your company. I can help you get there.

This is required reading for every CEO, CFO, and HR leader who refuses to accept the status quo."
