About Taylor Advisory Group

A small office with deep roots.

Taylor Advisory Group is an independent, family-run insurance practice on 18th Avenue in Columbus, Nebraska. Terry started his career in 1999 and went independent in 2005 so his loyalty could sit with clients instead of a single carrier. Our team has been guiding families through Medicare, dental, vision, and life insurance ever since.

Why we do it

Independent loyalty,
in plain English.

We believe that navigating Medicare shouldn't be confusing or overwhelming. Healthcare decisions can significantly impact your quality of life, financial stability, and peace of mind.

Our mission is simple: to empower you with the knowledge, guidance, and support needed to make informed choices about your Medicare coverage. Ultimately, we want to help you protect your health and financial future - because everyone deserves access to reliable, quality healthcare coverage.

  • Independent. Loyal to clients, not carriers
  • Working for clients, not carriers, since 2005
  • Plain-English explanations, every time
  • Same office, same phone number, same Terry
Our team

When you call our office, you'll reach someone whose name you already know. Here's who you'll be working with.

Terry Taylor, CEO & Founder
01 · CEO & Founder

Terry Taylor

Licensed in most states

Terry was born and raised in the small community of St. Edward, Nebraska. Growing up in a small town, his parents raised him with the values you'd expect - faith, integrity, and a strong work ethic. After high school he attended the University of Nebraska at Kearney, majoring in business administration.

Terry began his career in insurance in 1999, working for a company that brought solutions to rural Americans, and was promoted to Regional Manager covering most of Nebraska. In 2005, he realized he could better serve his clients without being restricted to one carrier - so he became an independent agent. It was the best decision he could have made, for himself and his clients.

Today Terry, his wife Marci, and their four children live in Columbus, NE. They are members of St. Isidore's Parish and are involved with multiple community groups.
