My name is Democratis Jim Pashalidis. I am a first generation Greek-American. Surrounded by a supportive and loving wife (Danielle), two responsible, hard-working sons (Rion and Alexandro), and our feisty dog (Wolf), I am a blessed man! As an inner-city elementary educator in Rochester, NY for almost 20 years, I enjoyed living my passion of helping children uncover their inner strength and value.As I continued in my career, I found some gaps to feeling completely fulfilled. My decision to become a Health Insurance Broker came from my own experience with trying to assist my parents in maneuvering through the complex world of Medicare! I was ill-prepared and had NO knowledge of which programs would be most beneficial for them. So, I reached out to a long-time friend and previous colleague for guidance. An agent from his company came to our home, simplified the process, and helped us make decisions that best fit our family’s situation.Immediately, I thought of how valuable that agent was for my family and realized that if I could provide that support and guidance for others, it would help me fulfill my life’s purpose of providing value to others. And so began, my Medicare career! I am eager to be of service and I will work diligently to help you and your loved ones navigate the Medicare process.
