Melvin Bridges

Agent

Hello, my name is Melvin Bridges, native of Chicago, born and raised on the Southside.   I am a husband, father of two, a boy and girl, and friend to all.  During the time I am not working I spend it with my family enjoying television, sporting events, museums and zoos.  I am also on the advisor council for the Chicago Lawn Neighborhood Housing Services (NHS).  NHS is a nonprofit organization established in 1975, NHS is committed to offering Chicago residents affordable resources so they can buy, fix, and keep their homes.

Since 1998 I have sent my working life as an advisor to people just like you on many things; news, mortgages, wireless services and now insurance.  It is my goal to aid all that solicits my services to educate them on the benefits to them about all forms of insurance and how the insurance policies offer protection of their cars, homes, their lives and even their incomes.  My goal is to educate people on how insurance can ease the financial burdens of the unexpected accidents and/or loss of a loved one.

I look forward to speaking to all of you and doing business with many of you!
