Legacy Insurance Advisors

Legacy Insurance Advisors earns its place at #8 among Tulsa employee benefits brokers through two decades of local practice and a multi-carrier model built to match health, life, Medicare, disability, and long-term care coverage to what households actually need. Co-founded by President Jason Van Valkenburg and Chief Administrative Officer Russell Scott, the firm combines licensed Medicare depth—Scott has specialized in that market since 2007—with agent training led by Melissa Hanes, who left a national carrier role to mentor Oklahoma independents. That mix lets the agency serve consumers directly and operate as a field marketing organization, giving clients access to several carriers instead of a single company’s lineup. What sets the shop apart is a family-first advisory style rooted in Tulsa: Oklahoma-raised leadership, customized plans rather than one-size enrollment, and civic work that includes Habitat for Humanity, the American Cancer Society, the Tulsa Zoo board, and youth-focused organizations such as World Baseball Outreach. For residents looking for a hometown firm that treats insurance as long-term protection rather than a transaction, Legacy Insurance Advisors is a natural #8 selection.
