Joseph F. Gioia, Independent Insurance Broker

Independent insurance guidance from a broker licensed since 2018, with personal support before and after enrollment.

Joseph F. Gioia

Licensed Health Insurance Broker

Licensed since 2018 FL · NY · NJ · CT · NC · TX BS Public Accounting, Fordham MS Taxation, Fordham

Before becoming an insurance broker, I worked as a financial consultant. My education in accounting and taxation at Fordham University helps me explain the financial side of coverage, from premium assistance to annual healthcare costs. I have been licensed since 2018 and work with insurance carriers in Florida, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, North Carolina, and Texas.

You work directly with me. We review your doctors, prescriptions, budget, and priorities, then compare available plans. There is no fee for my brokerage services. If you enroll in a plan I offer, the insurance company pays me a commission.

My support continues after enrollment. If you have a question about a prescription, a provider’s network status, or a claim, contact me. I can work with the pharmacy, provider’s office, or insurance company to help you understand the issue and the next steps.

Off the clock. I grew up in the suburbs of New York City and now call Florida home. I’m a second-generation Italian American, a lifelong New York Jets fan, and a season ticket holder since 2008, which builds character and not much else. I love to cook. Sunday sauce, a full table, and the house rule that if I made it, someone else does the dishes. I will negotiate on the wine. I will not negotiate on the garlic.

The story behind Ascension

I chose the name Ascension for its meaning and the hope it represents.

In my Catholic faith, the Ascension marks Christ’s return to His heavenly kingdom. It is a reminder that life does not end with death, but continues with God. That belief gives the name a meaning that goes well beyond the business. My time at Fordham, and the University Church pictured here, make that connection especially personal.

Ascension brings together my faith, my education, and the kind of practice I want to build. Insurance involves practical decisions, but behind every decision is a person, a family, and something worth protecting. I want people to feel heard, understand their choices, and know they have someone to call when questions arise.

The everyday meaning of ascension, to rise, belongs here too. My hope is that you leave our conversations with greater clarity and confidence about what comes next.

Everyone is welcome, regardless of faith or background. Every client deserves the same care, honest guidance, and ongoing support.
