Our culture is going to set us apart from other insurance brokers. This group has forged amazing relationships with our clients by being responsive and giving sound advice. We will continue to prioritize innovation and creativity in developing solutions with our clients as we embark on a new chapter together.”

Smith and his wife owned a performing arts studio in Florida before moving to Birmingham in 2019.
