About Us | Desert65

Insurance shouldn't need a translator

Every year, thousands of people turn 65 and get buried in mail, robocalls, and conflicting advice — right when getting it wrong is most expensive. We started Desert65 to be the opposite of that experience: a real person, on the phone or across the table, who explains your options clearly and helps you choose with confidence.

To give you access to a wide range of top-rated carriers, we work alongside Advocate Health Advisors, our field marketing organization. That partnership means more plan options for you to choose from.

The people behind Desert65

Grant Anderton

Grant founded Desert65 to bring straightforward, judgment-free Medicare guidance to families across the Southwest. He believes the best insurance advice sounds less like a sales pitch and more like a conversation with someone who's genuinely on your side — because that's exactly what it should be.

Stacy Thomas

Stacy has carried her insurance license since 2005 — more than two decades spent helping people make sense of coverage that too often feels designed to confuse. Her approach is high-touch and hands-on: she'd rather sit at your kitchen table than talk at you over email, walking through every option in person until it actually makes sense.

That care doesn't stop at enrollment. Stacy follows up long after the paperwork is signed, checks in when plans change, and treats every client the way she'd want her own parents treated — patient, thorough, and never rushed.
