Inside Consumer United :: Aaron Biedrzycki

Aaron Biedrzycki is a man with customer service on his mind and savings in his heart.

As a consumer advocate, Biedrzycki is motivated to save his clients money while navigating through the complexities of switching auto and home insurance providers.

"We're pioneers," the consumer advocate says. "Some select alumni groups or employers can get group discounts with certain insurance companies, but with Consumer United, anyone and everyone who signs up to be a member can enjoy these benefits. We're not elitists, we're just interested in helping those who need it the most to lower their cost of living."

Biedrzycki has experienced an enormous amount of growth since his beginning. The advocate call center has tripled in size. The scope of his job is constantly changing, which means there's never a dull moment at the office. Biedrzycki believes that everyone at Consumer United has contributed in creating a great atmosphere, and everyone is genuinely enthusiastic about the growing membership, one satisfied customer at a time.

How does Biedrzycki save money? He's real big on creating a budget, although he never used to be. "Once you take the time to map out all your expenses, you get a much better idea of how much 'disposable income' you have, and from there you can establish reasonable goals of putting some money aside or making a major purchase." He believes that one should live within one's means. Especially nowadays, there is an increased need to "trim the fat" and not make hasty or unnecessary purchases.

Biedrzycki grew up in New Hampshire, spending a considerable amount of time outdoors. He enjoys camping and hiking every chance he gets, in all seasons and weather conditions. When he's forced to remain indoors, he's a pretty big film/movie buff and enjoys live music whenever he can. Biedrzycki is an eagle scout as well. As soon as the office got wind of this, they immediately started calling him "Eagle,"a moniker that has now become permanent.

And his clients? "My clients can still call me Aaron though."
