Meet Todd Kraft, a licensed health insurance agent at On Point Insurance Agency (insuranceonpoint.com).

Tell us a little about your business. – On Point Insurance Agency provides health insurance for individuals, families, and seniors.

How did you get started in the business? – Krista Peeks Dittman has been helping people with their health insurance choices for six years. She decided to open her own agency and was looking for other agents to join her. I’ve been a truck driver for 11 years and decided it was time to get off the road. Helping people get the health insurance they need sounded like a rewarding endeavor, so I joined her team.

What is the biggest challenge you’ve faced professionally? – The health insurance industry is huge and complicated. There is a lot of information to digest and I had to learn to use a part of my brain that had been hibernating for quite some time. Thankfully I found out my brain capacity still had plenty of room.

Tell us a little about your family. – I have a 17 year old son who is a senior in high school. I have two cats, one who likes me, and one who tolerates me.

What do you see as one of the biggest turning points in your life? – Without question the biggest turning point in my life was when I joined the US Navy. I graduated from high school and honestly didn’t know what I was going to do with my life. I couldn’t afford college and was working as a dishwasher, so my prospects were pretty grim. I knew there was a great big world out there and I wanted to see it, so I got off work one day, walked around the corner from work and joined up. My first plane ride was from Lincoln to Chicago for boot camp two months later.

What is your favorite thing to do on a day off? – The older I get, the more I like naps. My favorite sport is baseball; I rarely miss a Braves game on the radio or TV.

What is the most unique or interesting thing about you that most people probably don’t know? – I’m a pinball wizard.

Who inspires you? – Teachers, service men and women and 1st responders.

What is your favorite quote or the best piece of advice you’ve ever received? – In a relationship you can either be right, or you can be happy.

If you could choose only one descriptive word to be remembered as, what would it be? – Trustworthy.

If you had a theme song, what would it be? – “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” by Bobby McFerrin.

If you could have a super power, what would it be? – Teleportation. I still want to see more of the world but there are the small problems of airplanes and vacation.

If you could choose any other profession to be successful in, what would it be? – I could have been an amazing front man for a rock band if not for stage fright and a lack of talent.

What is your favorite book or the last good book you read? – The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson.

What is your favorite TV show? – I don’t watch much TV, but back in the day I really liked NYPD Blue.
