Hi, I’m Daniel Cid Jr., and I help everyday people protect what matters most — their families, their businesses, and their future.
Before insurance, I spent years in hospitality, working my way up to Executive Chef and Food & Beverage Manager in the Chicagoland area.
That career taught me what real service looks like — leading teams, solving problems under pressure, and always putting people first.
Now I bring that same level of care and attention to helping people find life insurance they can trust.
As an independent broker, I’m not tied to one company, which means I can focus entirely on you — your goals, your budget, and your peace of mind.
I work with trusted, top-rated carriers through partners like Smart Choice and Quotacy, giving you access to dozens of competitive policy options without the hassle of shopping around.
When I left my family’s health plan, I needed coverage of my own — and honestly, I didn’t know where to start.
Everywhere I turned, I ran into agents who seemed more focused on their commission than actually helping me understand my options.
I felt cheated, misled, and frustrated by a system that was supposed to protect people.
That experience changed everything.
I decided to take the principles I lived by in hospitality — honesty, service, and integrity — and build something better:
an organization that helps people, not the agent’s pocket.
Now, my mission is to make insurance simple and transparent. Real conversations. Clear answers. Protection that actually fits your life and your goals.

When we sit down to talk, I’m not just going to quote random numbers.
I take time to understand:
What matters most to you and your family
Your short- and long-term financial goals
Any coverage you already have
What kind of flexibility and protection you need
Then I’ll walk you through clear, simple options — no pushy sales tactics, no jargon.
Just straightforward solutions from someone who’s been in your shoes.

I work with people from all walks of life — because everyone deserves peace of mind.
Whether you’re:
A truck driver spending long hours on the road
A veteran providing for your family
A parent preparing for your children’s future
Or a small business owner protecting what you’ve built
I’ll help you find the right coverage for your unique situation — always with honesty and respect.
