Michael Bendix

Account Manager

I joined the BlueJay team in 2023 as a licensed Minnesota Insurance Producer in Property & Casualty after being a longtime client.

My background spans every level of construction, beginning as a restoration technician and union carpenter (Local 322), growing into project management and sales leadership, and ultimately business ownership across multiple trades. I also have firsthand experience helping homeowners and business owners recover from water, fire, mold, and storm damage.

Clients value my practical and technical knowledge, clear communication, and commitment to lasting relationships. I partner with contractors, property owners, and businesses to secure coverage that truly fits their needs. I also hold a Life Insurance license, offering individuals, families, and business owners a complete range of protection. Outside of work, I enjoy golfing, traveling, exploring new restaurants, and racing cars at the track.

With five years of experience in the insurance industry, I bring a comprehensive understanding of the field, enabling me to provide expert advice and solutions to my customers. Before working in insurance, I worked in home restoration where I gained valuable insights into the claims process while working closely with insurance companies. This background has equipped me with a unique perspective and a thorough knowledge of both policy management and claims handling. I pride myself on being approachable and dedicated to helping others navigate the complexities of insurance.

Outside of work, I live with my girlfriend Kenzie and our cat Winnie. I enjoy being outdoors, whether it’s camping, hiking, running, or swimming and I love spending time with my friends and family in my free time.
