Assurity CEO and leadership

As Chairman, President and CEO of Assurity Group and Assurity Life Insurance, I lead a team of high-level achievers focused on strategic growth. To succeed in the rapidly changing insurance industry takes a willingness to experiment and constantly try new things.

In this role, I spend my days building strong relationships with our associates and customers, while also:

• thinking about, creating and implementing innovative business strategies

• building high-performance teams

• managing and mitigating the risks we face

I’m a big believer in the power of listening. Encouraging everyone to actively participate and then considering all ideas is the best way to create a business culture that is smart, straightforward and respectful. I’m also big on measuring progress-what gets measured gets accomplished, so data analysis is an important part of our internal process.

Outside of work, you’ll find me working on my wildlife farm with my two French Brittanys. I try to do my part in the conservation movement by planting hundreds of trees and bushes and growing green cover crops to build soil fertility without chemicals. Our farms are a haven for all native species, especially for upland birds.
