Ben Breiner is a managing editor of LendingTree's insurance content. He oversees a team of writers who focus on guiding readers through the rigors of home, auto, health, renters and motorcycle coverage.
Ben has covered insurance since he joined LendingTree in 2021. He's managed and edited projects touching on insurance in all 50 states, developed different methodologies to identify top companies and overseen a range of efforts to make our insurance content as digestible and useful as it can be.
Previously, Ben spent a decade as a sportswriter for newspapers in the Southeast and Midwest. His work has been featured in the Charlotte Observer, Indianapolis Star and USA Today.
Ben still loves that moment when the words fall together and he can translate an intimidating topic so a reader can make the best choice. Combine that with in-depth data and strong analysts, and a consumer can break through walls of jargon and technical terms to make the decision that gives them the most piece of mind.
Why insurance matters
Insurance is for the expenses you can't afford. When an accident or health issue could sink your finances, insurance protects you. That doesn't mean it's always wise to spend the most, but a little extra knowledge can keep you covered with monthly costs that don't break the bank."
