Muhchine [machine] is a Hoosier-based firm focused on health insurance innovation and building redemptive companies, with a passion for transforming health insurance startups and family-owned businesses from concepts to thriving ventures.

In 2015, I joined two sales-oriented visionaries to build Remodel Health. We helped transform employee benefits by becoming the market-leading ICHRA platform. Over seven exhilarating years, I wore many hats and built several teams. By the time I stepped down, we were nearing $8M in ARR on only $2M in funding.

Then came my professional sabbatical of sorts. I tried different roles: fractional startup executive (financially sweet but influence-light), and even attempted to revolutionize food-as-medicine for consumers (spoiler alert: D2C is not my superpower).

Running from your calling has a funny way of catching up to you. After a few years of exploration, family-building, and some honest soul-searching, I had my "aha" moment. Health insurance wasn't my past — it was my home court. It's where my experience, passion, and ability to make a difference aligned perfectly. In 2024, I returned to health insurance as COO of Presidio, the perfect blend of my faith and skillset.

Sometimes, the most powerful way to drive change isn't by building, but by sharing the right stories and fostering relationships. With the Hlthshft newsletter, I make insurance understandable, guiding businesses and individuals through its complexities and explore the professional highs, personal lows, and spiritual insights of successful individuals through the Seasoned Chronicles podcast. I’m dedicated to building intentional community for high-achieving men through relaxed events and transformative trips.
