Eric Dalton is a longtime North Texas resident with deep roots in the community. Eric has strong family values and has twin juniors in College. After successful careers in the hotel and the cable industry he transitioned to the world of health insurance where he found his passion. He understands the importance of having your health plan work for you when you need it the most. Eric is licensed in multiple states for health, life, dental and vision plans. Eric is very proud of his high retention rate amongst his clients. The happiness of his clients is a direct result of listening to their needs and making sure they have the right coverage at the best rate. Eric’s philosophy is “whether you insure with me or not, make sure that you have health insurance and do not expose you or your family financially”.
