After graduating from Marshall University in 1991 in Huntington West Virginia, I started down the path that led me to a career in Insurance. I first started in the life insurance industry in Ironton Ohio and Ashland, KY. Specializing in Life, accidental and health insurance. I opened an office in Grayson Kentucky in 1998. Specializing in Automobile and Home insurance. We were the fastest growing independent insurance agency in Kentucky. I was awarded the Kentucky New Agent of the year award in 1998. In 2001 I began to expand my insurance agency to include the states of West Virginia and Ohio. I also started to promote motorcycle insurance in my agency. Being that I had been riding motorcycles since graduating from Barboursville High School in 1985, motorcycle insurance became an easy product for me to sell. Staffords Motorsports in Ashland Kentucky gave me my first shot in 2003 to be their number one insurance agent for the dealership. Soon after that we began helping Ashland Honda with all their clients motorcycle insurance and in August of 2003 I made a sales call to Benjy's Harley Davidson and established a relationship selling their clients motorcycle insurance that exists still today. Once Charlie Cole purchased Benjy's Harley Davidson, it opened up 3 more dealerships for our agency. Blackbear Harley Davidson in Wytheville Virginia, Blackwolf Harley Davidson in Abingdon, Virginia, and Coles Harley Davidson in Bluefield, West Virginia. In 2004, We began helping Baxters Harley Davidson in Bidwell Ohio, Pikeville Harley Davidson in Pikeville, Kentucky and Harmon Honda in Ironton Ohio. Later in 2004 we began selling in Virginia, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida. In 2012 we added Columbia Harley Davidson in Columbia Tennessee and it opened up the southern part of the United States for our agency. Since 2003, we have done business with many Harley Davidson, Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Can Am, Polaris, dealerships in 13 different states. We also began to explore the RV and Motorhome business. The Boat and Atv business took off in 2005 when we picked up The Great Outdoors boat dealership in Lavalette West Virginia. |
