About Scudo

Shielding your future, by design

Scudo Benefits Group LLC is an independent health, life, and annuity insurance agency serving individuals, families, and small businesses in DC, FL, MD, MI, OH, TX and VA. We are not tied to a single carrier, so our job is to compare what is actually available to you and explain it in plain language.

Scudo is Italian for shield, and the name is not accidental. We believe true wellness is not only physical. It is financial and it is generational. It is knowing that the life you are building, including your health, your home, and your family's future, is protected from whatever comes. A strong body and a strong financial foundation are not separate goals; they are two sides of the same commitment to living fully and intentionally.

The philosophy behind Scudo

That belief shapes how Scudo Benefits Group operates. We do not just sell policies, we build protection plans. We take the time to understand how you live, what you are building, and what matters most to you, and then find the coverage that fits that life rather than the other way around.

Whether you are self-employed and navigating coverage on your own, a growing family making sure your children are protected no matter what, or a small business owner trying to offer your team meaningful benefits without breaking the budget, the approach is the same: listen first, educate fully, and find the solution that fits your life.

The Scudo promise

Shielding your future. When you work with Scudo Benefits Group you are not just getting an insurance policy. You are getting an agent who understands that health and wealth are connected and who is committed to making sure you and your family have both.

About the founder

Austin Wilson, founder of Scudo Benefits Group

Austin Wilson did not come to insurance the way most agents do. Before founding Scudo Benefits Group, he spent years in fitness and personal training, helping clients optimize their physical health, build sustainable habits, and perform at their best for the long term.

Along the way he noticed a pattern that changed the direction of his career: the same people disciplined enough to invest in their physical health were often completely unprotected financially. They were training for longevity, yet they had no plan for what happened to their family if life did not go as planned. Closing that gap between living well and being protected is exactly why Scudo Benefits Group exists.
