The Affordable Insurance Network (AIN) was founded by Michael Tove, PhD, CEP, RFC in 1998 as a multi-services independent agency. Its mission was to offer unbiased advice to clients based on their needs rather than promoting the products of one company. Initially, emphasizing the health insurance industry, AIN expanded its services to include Life Insurance, Long Term Care, Medicare Supplement, Disability, Annuities and finally to include strategic Financial and Estate Planning. From the outset, Dr. Tove's vision was to develop an agency that emphasized service rather than product, professionalism and salesmanship. Dr. Tove is a Certified Estate Planner, Registered Financial Consultant, member of the National Institute of Certified Estate Planners, member of the International Association of Registered Financial Consultants, member of the Million Dollar Round Table and inductee into Who's Who of Executives and Professionals. AIN has company agents across North Carolina and affiliated independent agents serving other states. In addition, we network with other agencies across the entire United States. In that way, even if someone is outside our immediate jurisdiction, we know reliable professionals in our network, whom we can recommend.

AIN is an Accredited Business of the Better Business Bureau of Eastern North Carolina.

In addition, AIN has served as an official sponsor of Shepard Center Annual Golf Tournament
