Steve Shorr has been licensed in insurance since 1975 and has operated his own agency since 1981. He grew up in an insurance family in San Pedro, California, where his father and grandfather owned Shorr Agency Inc.
Instead of just selling policies, Steve focuses on explaining complicated insurance rules in plain English — especially where Covered California, Medicare, Medi-Cal, tax credits, eligibility, and real-life family situations overlap.
- Licensed since 1975 — decades of real-world insurance experience.
- Independent agency owner since 1981 — not a call-center employee reading a script.
- Website publisher since 1999 — Steve keeps detailed educational pages online so consumers can research before calling.
- Complex-case focus — Medi-Cal Share of Cost, Covered California subsidies, Medicare coordination, employer coverage, COBRA, and tax-related eligibility questions.
- No-obligation help — ask questions, compare options, and decide what makes sense.
Steve’s education and insurance training include San Pedro High School, Los Angeles Harbor College, San Diego State University, CPCU, LUTCF, RHU, REBC, and one year of law school at Newport University.
What that means for consumers: Steve is not just licensed — he has spent decades studying insurance, benefits, eligibility rules, and consumer protection issues.
Steve has two grown children and an active social life in the Croatian Hall, Dalmatian American Club, fine dining, tennis, and dance. He is a past president of the South Coast Chapter of CPCU and an Eagle Scout.
Steve also served vicariously in the Korean War through his father, Lt. Paul Shorr, and helped maintain the website for the SS Lane Victory from 2007 to 2008.
