About Jim Morency
Insurance was in my blood long before I majored and received a BSBA in Insurance from Drake University. My father owned an agency in Hinsdale, Illinois, but I struck out on my own and moved South away from those Midwest winters.
I earned my stripes with 7 years of underwriting, followed by 5 years of insurance agency marketing. In 1991, I started in commercial sales.
Underwriting commercial property, liability, automobile, workers compensation, and umbrella coverages provided a solid foundation in commercial lines business.
Placing commercial accounts with various carriers and assisting producers with sales as a Marketing Manager exposed me to a wide variety of businesses.
As a producer, I focus on finding insurance and risk transfer solutions for companies in these industries—Lake and Pond Management, Environmental, Manufacturing (Importers and Exporters), and Non-Profit Organizations.
You will never know where the holes in your coverage are without a comprehensive review.
When you shop your business insurance, most competitors quote "as is," but often miss important needs and coverage.
Why?
Because they only focus on price.
And you don't find out what's missing until you experience a loss.
Many of my clients didn't realize they could find the specialty coverage they need.

Call today for a no-cost comprehensive review of your existing coverage from an agent who's lived insurance his entire career.
