About Jason Caudill, MBA

Jason caudill, mba — founder, my annuity store
Jason Caudill, MBA
Founder & President, My Annuity Store, Inc.

Jason Caudill is the founder and president of My Annuity Store, an independent annuity brokerage licensed in 47 states. He holds an MBA and built My Annuity Store to give middle-class retirees access to the same transparent rate comparison and independent guidance that high-net-worth investors have always had.

Because My Annuity Store is not captive to any single carrier, Jason can offer unbiased analysis of the annuity marketplace. He regularly advises pre-retirees and retirees (typically ages 55 to 75) on MYGA strategies, income planning, and tax-efficient accumulation.

Jason is also a practitioner in AI applied to regulated financial services — he built and deployed Andy AnthropAnnuity, a compliance-first AI research assistant, on Anthropic’s Claude API with retrieval-augmented generation over 146 carrier brochures.
