Trusted Relationships

Even though our industry has changed a lot in the last 50 years, one thing remains the same: we’re in the people business. Our business will continue to be based on the trusted relationships we build with our customers, our carrier partners, our colleagues, and our neighbors.

Experience and Knowledge

We have a confession: we’re self-professed insurance nerds. We love insurance and risk management because we love learning. The evolution of business and technology means more complex and exciting problems for us to solve. We have colleagues who have worked in our industry for 40+ years and some who are just getting their start. We encourage, teach, and learn from each other.

About Morristown and the Lakeway Area

In the mountains between the lakes
In the mountains, between the lakes

We are blessed to call beautiful East Tennessee our home. Morristown is located approximately halfway between Knoxville and the Tri-Cities. Many of our colleagues live in the Lakeway Area which describes the 6-county area around Morristown. Our office is centrally located and makes for an easy commute.

Affordable, easy living

Are you tired of paying too much for rent? How’s that 2-hour commute working out for you? We’re sorry—truly. We’re late to work if a train comes through town or we get stuck behind a tractor. If you move to East Tennessee, you’ll have space, affordable housing options, easy commutes, and peace of mind.
