Greetings
fellow Erie-area residents!
Like
you, this week in itself could not go by quickly enough. Stress? Nah. My life’s
work is in insurance. My job is to give you
peace of mind, to alleviate your
potential stresses. Naturally, I feel the need to set a worthy example.
But in
the event that it wasn't obvious – although I’m not originally from Colorado
and therefore cannot claim to be a natural Broncos fan, I’m looking forward to
the big game this Sunday. I have one word for the many of you who are… Omaha!
Hi, I’m
John. I’m the President and founder of Pure
Risk Solutions. If
you live in Erie, you may know me. If not, there’s a chance you've seen me
around. Why? Well, this community is extremely important to me. I’m the guy who lives up the
street; who you may have sat next to at the last Chamber of Commerce meeting; who you perhaps saw at our tent at one of the many Town Of Erie
events. I earned my degree from the University of Colorado at the Leeds
School of Business (go Buffs!), and ever since, my family and I have been
fortunate enough to call this area home. There’s a sense of pride that comes
with that and a certain peace of mind it instills. I couldn't possibly be more
appreciative for both.
I also
consider myself to be an avid and loyal supporter of local business. Along with
Pure Risk, I recently partnered in opening a new cidery and brewpub (The Old Mine) in Erie just below the insurance
office. To me, it’s incredibly rewarding to be able to engage with the
community. When I see friends, neighbors, and fellow residents come through the
door of either establishment, I know I’m accomplishing my goal.
Speaking
of small businesses, at Pure Risk, a large number of our clients include those
who own them. If you are a small business owner and don’t feel like you’re
adequately covered, or if you simply want to see what
you may be missing – please call us. We have the expertise in this area to
help you get the most out of your money.
Last
week, my colleague, Dave Godel, kicked off our two part blog post series on why
we’re passionate about what we do at Pure Risk and what drives us as insurance
agents. I’d like to continue that discussion.
Simply
put – I got into the insurance industry because I like helping people. And
insurance is about people. If you
were to break it down, that’s really what it was created for: to prepare folks
for the future and to protect them from the curveballs that life can sometimes throw.
And
what’s worth protecting? As a husband and father of two young children, to me,
it’s family. There is nothing more reassuring than to know that I’m doing
everything I can for them. Of course, insurance is also about ensuring peace of
mind (a common theme at PRS!) in protecting anything that you consider to be
important – be that family, your home, car, or business.
Overall,
to me, insurance is only successful when it adequately protects the people it
covers. You see, after graduation, I worked for one of the big conglomerate
agencies. As Dave mentioned in his post – the general focus of those places
tend to be “the next sale.” and not providing proper client service.
When I
created Pure Risk Solutions, I was inspired to start an agency to take
insurance back to the basics. The goal was and is still today, to cultivate a
culture founded on integrity, hard work, responsiveness, and an ever-growing
knowledge for our clients, our industry, and the ways they can most positively
connect. This is what I stand for, and the foundation upon which Pure Risk is
built.
So as we
get further into the new year, I encourage you to think about the people and
things around you that you consider to be most important. I understand the
peace of mind that comes from protecting the things I love most, and I want to
help those around me to do the same. Please feel free to call me, or stop by
the office or brewpub. We are right around the corner.
As a
conclusion, I’m going to say it now – Broncos 24, Seahawks 20. Celebrate
safely, Colorado!
Warmest regards,
John
