Insurance isn’t about numbers to me. It’s about people. It’s about making sure your mom, your dad, or your grandmother is protected without putting a burden on the family later.
I don’t do sales pitches. I have honest conversations. If something makes sense for your family, I’ll tell you why. If it doesn’t, I’ll be just as clear. I only recommend what I would feel comfortable putting in place for my own family.
Because real protection starts with trust, long before anyone needs to use a policy.

Hi, I’m Matthew Stafford, your licensed independent insurance agent.
At one point in my life, I was told I was “uninsurable” — even as a young, healthy adult. That moment devastated me, but it also fueled my commitment to find better solutions for people with complex or special needs. I became an agent so I could make sure no one else has to face that same sense of hopelessness.
Before starting MyTNLife.com, I spent more than two decades in executive leadership with global Fortune 500 companies like Hilton, Hyatt, and Marriott. My work involved managing a $100 million portfolio, but the part of my career I loved most was guiding and mentoring people — helping them make smart choices about employee benefits, life planning, and their families’ futures.
Hospitality isn’t just a career path for me, it’s who I am. I’ve had the privilege of welcoming more than 100,000 visitors to Tennessee each year, and I’m proud to now bring that same spirit of care, trust, and service to my neighbors across the state.
My mission is simple: to help Tennesseans protect what matters most, with honesty, integrity, and compassion.
