Meet the Team

Real people. Real answers.

Better Call Matt is built on a simple idea: insurance should feel like talking to someone who actually knows what they're doing — and genuinely cares about getting it right for you.

Meet Matt

Matt Nelson, CPCU®, LUTCF®

Founder & Independent Insurance Agent

After serving in the Marine Corps, Matt entered the insurance industry and spent years inside the traditional captive-agent model, where agents represent one insurance company and work within that company's available products and options.

Matt wanted the ability to compare options across multiple insurance companies, so he moved to the independent side of the business. Today, he works with multiple carriers, giving clients more options to compare.

Matt's philosophy is simple: insurance should feel like talking to a knowledgeable friend who gives you straight answers. That's what he tries to be for every client.

“My job is to educate you and help you make the best decision for your situation — not to close a deal.”

John Marotta

Independent Insurance Agent

John believes insurance should feel personal, straightforward, and easy to understand. After years of owning and managing businesses — including serving as Managing Partner of Ducati San Antonio — he understands the importance of balancing price with making sure you're properly protected.

His approach is simple: listen, explain the options in plain language, and help clients make informed decisions without adding unnecessary complexity.

John and his wife, April, are raising their three children, Melrose, Johnny, and Quinn. Whether it's business, school, family, or insurance, John believes complicated information is most useful when it can be explained simply. That's exactly what he tries to do for every client.

“Complicated information is most useful when it can be explained simply.”

Our philosophy

Five things we believe about insurance.

1

Better Options

You deserve to understand your options and compare real choices before making a decision.

2

Honesty Over Sales

If you're already well-covered, we'll tell you. If we see an important gap, we'll explain that too.

3

Be There After the Sale

We're not a call center. You know who to call when you have a question, need service, or aren't sure what to do next.

4

Price is the Hook, Protection is the Goal

A lower premium is great. But the real win is knowing you're actually covered when something goes wrong.

5

Guide, Not Salesperson

Our job is to educate you and help you make the best decision for your situation — not to close a deal.
