Vanessa Driggers
LIA - Oklahoma
My name is Vanessa Driggers. I grew up in a military family which moved us to many different places, but I met a boy from Oklahoma and have been here ever since. My husband Jeremy and I have been married 25 years this year. We have two children, a son attending Oklahoma State University, and a daughter who is in high school. We enjoy traveling and going to the lake with our family and friends, live music, and sports.
I previously worked with a healthcare organization centered around Medicare clients which led me to my current role as a licensed independent agent. I have had my license since 2023 and am currently licensed in Oklahoma and Texas. Medicare can be confusing, knowing what to do and when can be very challenging for many people. I have enjoyed working hand in hand with clients and their families to help them make the right decision for their needs. I also specialize in life insurance, final expense, and hospital indemnity plans to help fill in the gaps in coverage. The relationships I have made both personally and professionally have been very rewarding to me and my family and I look forward to many more years helping others navigate the world of Medicare.

Liz Haggard
LIA - Oklahoma
My name is Elizabeth Haggard and I was born and raised in Enid, Ok. After graduating from Enid High, I got married and have two daughters and several grandchildren. I had an opportunity to help my community by being a part of the Health Insurance sector as an insurance advisor. Being an advisor has allowed me to help seniors and others make choices about their health care to make their lives better. I love helping people get these benefits and see how I can personally help them with each step of the process.
I’m currently licensed in 8 states and represent numerous companies as an independent agent. That allows me to find a plan that benefits people the most with doctors, prescriptions and other services.
Tami Brunner
LIA - Oklahoma
As a lifelong resident of Edmond, Oklahoma, working in my hometown and serving the Medicare community has been a privilege! My husband and I have two kids who will be third-generation Memorial Bulldogs. Most of my career was in Oil and Gas project management and accounting. During one of the industry dips, I decided to stay home with my kids during their elementary years. Medicare hit my radar when my parents turned 65 and couldn’t get the help I needed. And a new career was born.
I have found that health insurance, especially Medicare, has a great need for high-touch customer service-centered agents. I strive to give each client the level of service I would my own family. They know they have a partner year-round, from coaching them through the enrollment process to plan selection and adjustments as their needs change. In addition, many professionals in other industries need someone they can trust to help their clients. I work with many local financial advisors, doctor’s offices, and pharmacists to support their client’s needs. My office is located in Canyon Park in Edmond, just south of the Spring Creek area.
Barb Crane
LIA - Oklahoma
Barb has been licensed since 2011 and helping folks on Medicare since 2012. She never knew she could get paid to help people, not charge them any money, yet better their lives and get paid for doing so. She never liked selling products that just got the company richer. The best compliment is a referral. She started as a captive agent with one company but hated turning people away because she didn’t have the tools and resources to help them. She became a broker so she could better serve her clients, as more of a consultant than a sales person. Her most used quote “I have never starved doing the right thing for my client.” Meaning that God will always bless her business by doing the right thing, and He has.
Barb is licensed in Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana for life and health.
When Barb isn’t busy helping others with their insurance needs, she enjoys her hobbies, spending time outside and with her grandkids. She loves to travel and make memories.
Barb has a local office in Midwest City to be centrally located for her clients but still makes home visits.
Jack McLamore
LIA - Oklahoma
My wife and I have lived in Oklahoma for 14 years; we’ve had a chance to see some beautiful country, meet some great people and fish some amazing lakes. We love to travel, hike and just be out in nature. We have also enjoyed volunteering in our community for many years.
I never really understood Medicare until our parents started aging, and we realized how confusing it can be for a senior to navigate through the programs without some help. That really motivated me to learn more about this and to look for ways I can be helpful to someone in the same position. There is a plan for everyone, and I am committed to do my best to help others understand the best available options.
Jessica McLamore
LIA - Oklahoma
I have lived in Oklahoma for 14 years and absolutely love it! I would have to say the people are my favorite part, the genuine and kind spirit of Oklahomans has made it feel like home. My husband and I live in Tulsa; we’ve been married for 18 years and love to spend time with family and good friends.
I first thought of helping people learn about Medicare when my dad got very sick. When we discovered that he did not have the prescription coverage he needed, it became one of the most stressful times of my life because he could not afford the necessary treatment. I was so grateful when a friend helped me get him signed up for the exact Medicare plan we had been looking for but did not know existed.
I knew then this was a career that could really help people! I love finding solutions to help make people’s lives a little easier!
