I’m Josh! I’m a proud husband to an awesome wife and father of 2 great children! I was born and raised in Sumter, SC and I firmly believe that the four cornerstones of customer service are: honesty, integrity, friendliness and servitude. I’ve been in the people business my entire working life. My passions are volunteering, watching football and spending time with family and friends. I’m a huge Buffalo Bills fan and one day I will see them win a Super Bowl.

Hey! I’m Shelby! I’m a wife and mom of 2 girls. I’ve been working alongside my husband for over a year now, and it has been such a blessing! Before getting into the insurance business, I worked as a surgical technologist in our local hospital. I loved my job and helping people, and I love that I get to still care for people in a different way. I love to travel! Having new experiences with my family makes my heart so full. I’m very family-oriented, and it makes me excited that Josh and I are able to have a family business that we care so deeply about.

I’m a lifelong South Carolinian from Sumter, where I played baseball at Sumter High, USC Sumter, and Francis Marion University, earning degrees in finance and an MBA. After working as an Investment Controller at Continental Tire, I realized my true passion was connecting with people, leading me to real estate and Insurance. Inspired by family, HGTV, and my love for helping others, I strive to bring joy through my work. Above all, my life and business belong to Jesus Christ, and I give Him all the glory for every opportunity.
