As an independent agency, we’re not tied to any single insurance carrier. That means our recommendations are built around one thing: what’s right for your organization and your people.
Family-owned since 1969 and now in our second generation, we combine independent, objective advice with the national resources of a UBA Partner Firm.

National resources, local service
The scale and insight of a UBA Partner Firm, delivered personally.
Getting a steep renewal and hearing your broker say the only choice is to accept it isn’t good enough. Because we work for you — not the carriers — that’s exactly the moment we dig in: challenging the increase, marketing your plan, and bringing real alternatives to the table.
And we fight for your whole team — not just the executives. Everyone deserves benefits they can actually understand and use, from the front line to the corner office.
As an independent agency, our loyalty is to your organization and your people — never to a single insurer.
We pressure-test the increase, take your plan to market, and negotiate hard for a better outcome.
We design plans your entire workforce can use and value — not just coverage that looks good on paper for a few.
