What is your history in Hartselle and with your business?

We moved to Hartselle in 2010 and took over a business that had already Been well established in the community for many years. Michael replaced Charles Howse who was an agent for 40 years.

What is good with your business?

 Auto rates are at an all-time low and we are growing even in these difficult times. We have a great team with more than 60 years of combined experience and relationships! Relationships is what we do best! People keep coming back because of the way we treat them and the relationships that have been established over many years

What is hard with your business?

There is a lot of competition in our industry. You can buy insurance online in just a few minutes from many different online companies. There are also several other good agencies in our community that have been here a long time too.

What is the greatest opportunity for growth?

I think the leadership in our community has done an outstanding job attracting business and residents to move to Hartselle! We have a first-class school system and people want to live here and raise their family here. Our downtown has seen a lot of positive changes. There is construction going on everywhere. I think the next 10 years are going to be really good! Our leadership is putting us in a great position to benefit from industry growth like Toyota/Mazda.
