Our Story

Insurance Guidance Built Around People, Not Policies

Years before starting the agency, Joy and Kevin experienced the same frustration many clients face today: losing employer-sponsored coverage, sitting through confusing explanations, and purchasing a plan they did not fully understand.

Instead of accepting that as normal, they decided to build an agency around clarity, honesty, and personal service — one that would explain both the strengths and the trade-offs of every option, and stay available long after the enrollment call ended.

Joy Kincaid

Co-founder · Independent Insurance Agent

Joy's approach to insurance was shaped by her own experience as a confused and unsupported customer. That experience became the reason she entered the industry and later built Kincaid Solutions.

Entrepreneurship has always been part of Joy's life. Even while working for large corporations early in her career, she continually looked for better ways to serve people and create solutions. In 2006, she began building her own clientele and supporting small businesses, which gave her firsthand insight into the challenges business owners and families often face.

Everything changed in 2013 when Kevin temporarily lost his W-2 job and their family also lost its employer-sponsored health insurance. During a meeting with a health insurance agent, Joy was presented with fast explanations, confusing charts, and a plan she did not fully understand. The family kept the plan for only a few months and later faced significant out-of-pocket costs.

That experience became a turning point. In 2014, Joy became a healthcare agent with a clear goal: to provide the kind of service she wished her own family had received. She wanted to explain coverage honestly, discuss both the advantages and limitations, and continue helping clients after the policy was issued. In 2018, she stepped out on her own and launched her agency. By 2019, Kevin had joined her as her business partner.

“I wanted my clients to feel supported, informed, and advocated for — something I never felt during my own experience.”

— Joy Kincaid

What Joy brings to every client relationship

  • Clear education

    She explains coverage in straightforward language so clients understand what they are considering before making a decision.

  • Honest guidance

    Joy discusses both the strengths and limitations of coverage instead of presenting only the positive features.

  • Service after the sale

    She believes the client relationship should continue after enrollment, especially when questions or problems arise.

Kevin Kincaid

Co-founder · Independent Insurance Agent

Kevin combines a researcher's mindset with a practical, hands-on desire to help people understand and implement the right solution.

Kevin describes himself as having a white-collar head and a blue-collar heart. His analytical side enjoys research, comparisons, and making complicated ideas easier to explain. His practical side wants to roll up his sleeves, help solve the problem, and assist with putting the solution into place.

Before entering insurance, Kevin spent approximately ten years in ministry and twenty-five years in the HVAC/R industry. Those experiences shaped his ability to listen, explain complex matters, solve practical problems, and work directly with people from many different backgrounds.

In 2017, Kevin's life changed dramatically when he temporarily lost his eyesight and his traveling sales position within the same week. He was functionally blind for approximately four months and ultimately regained vision in one eye. Joy encouraged Kevin to earn his health and life insurance licenses and join the agency where she was working. He soon began questioning the limitations of the captive agency model, and together they moved toward a more independent approach — one that lets them help more people based on individual circumstances rather than a single product line.

“I have a white-collar head but a blue-collar heart.”

Why Independence Matters

Why Choose an Independent Insurance Agency?

Joy and Kevin chose a more independent path so they could compare more options, explain meaningful differences, and make recommendations based on the client rather than the limitations of one product line.

  • Personalized guidance

    Recommendations built around your household, health, and priorities — not a fixed script.

  • Broader coverage options

    The freedom to compare plans from multiple insurance carriers instead of a single product line.

  • Clear pros and cons

    Honest explanations of both the strengths and the trade-offs of each option we present.

  • Support after enrollment

    A real person to call when something changes, a claim comes up, or you have a question.
