HUB International
https://www.linkedin.com/company/cfr-inc.
My HUB clients were looking for an insurance agent to go beyond the traditional agency model. They were hungry for insights into the energy industry with regard to risk and compliance issues, and they simply were not receiving this information elsewhere. 

Our team worked overtime to dig deep and help our clients see around the bend, and ahead of the curve. We were committed that our success should be defined by our results. As a result, many of our energy clients thrived financially, despite the energy market crash that began in late 2014.

I loved being a part of a team that was building and growing, and I’m proud of my achievements during my HUB tenure: 

•	Growth: In my first 20 months, in an extremely challenging rate environment, our region’s revenue grew by double digits, culminating in 100% revenue growth by the time I left. 

•	Awards: I am a four-time winner of the SHARP award, given annually to the top 10 percent of the firm’s producers of new business and retention. This recognition is testament to my team’s ability to constantly deliver unique products to new and existing clients while keeping the highest levels of professionalism in serving our clients.

•	International Experience: I represented the Mid-America region on the HUB U.S.-Canada Cross Border “HUB Advantage” team. This experience taught me the unique cultural, insurance and risk and compliance challenges insureds face when doing business internationally, and how a broker can step in to provide invaluable guidance.

•	Mentoring Our Sales Team: My passion for mentoring young producers began as I was invited to shepherd newly hired, un-validated producers through to validation. There is no more rewarding experience than to be a part of someone else’s success.

Executive Risk Consultant - Specialty Contracting
McGriff, Seibels & Williams
https://www.linkedin.com/company/mcgriff
At MSW I primarily serviced the construction industry. I believe that a construction company must have an insurance broker that specializes in construction. Construction companies face many risks unique to only construction companies, and do best when they can entrust their assets to an experienced industry insurance agent.

My experiences in MSW's construction division also served as a basis for building out an energy-contracting business development and service platform.

Molton, Allen & Williams
https://www.linkedin.com/company/molton-allen-&-williams
•	I earned my first industry designation while at MAW. 

During these formative, rookie years, my passion for the insurance industry was kindled. Like many rookies, I learned from great leaders and also made my share of mistakes. Thankfully, many of my mistakes turned out to be successes in the long run, and today they serve as lessons that I continue to implement in my insurance career. 

Starting from scratch is tough, just as being a rookie was tough. I learned the value of cold-calling, networking, gaining expertise in insurance products and listening more than talking. I experienced why teamwork is better than going it alone. 

My years at MAW shaped so much of what I’ll continue accomplishing for my clients and for myself.

        Absolutely committed is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Allen.  I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Allen for over 10 years, during which we’ve worked together both as colleagues and as clients of each other’s respective firms.  Above all I was impressed with Allen’s ability to achieve his goals and accomplish what he set out to do.  No matter the situation, nothing can dampen Allen’s enthusiasm and resolve.   Allen will be a true asset for S.S. Nesbitt.
