How did you get into the Industry?
I suppose it’ s in my blood. I am a 3rd generation independent agent. My grandfather, Bob, founded the agency in 1952, my father, David, later joined him in 1983, and I joined the business in early 2014.
What benefits do Young Agents bring to the Industry?
Young Agents have fresh ideas and bring a substantial amount of energy and determination to succeed.
How do you see the Industry Changing in the next 5-10 years?
I see communication through technology and social media being a key factor when it comes to sales, service, and relationships. As Independent Agents we must evolve with our clientele to become a part of their future.
Who / What has been your greatest resources in this industry and why?
My father, no doubt, he has been a salient educator and supporter throughout my life. He has taught me everything I have learned about the business. Showing me that generosity, as well as integrity, are key factors when running a successful business. children to be in the insurance industry?
Definitely, the success and rewards that come with the career path are immeasurable.
What advice would you like to share with Principals who have been in the business more than 10 years?
My advice to the principals is to share their knowledge and personal experiences to counsel new agents who are eager to learn. We, young agents, could not do our job without guidance from veteran independent insurance agents.
What are your future Plans?
My future plans include continuing my insurance education and taking advantage of the KAIA Young Agents Network to better myself as an independent insurance agent, all while doing my part in the growth of Hundley Insurance Services.
Tell us 3 tips that you would give to an incoming young agent?
1. Find an educated mentor and listen to the advice they have to offer. 2. Take advantage of the continuing education available to you. 3. Become a valiant member of the Young Agents Group.
What is your greatest reward as an independent insurance agent?
To me, my greatest reward is the opportunity I have to better myself and utilize the resources available to protect what my clients have worked so hard to achieve.
