About Us
Being the legacy member of a family firm does not necessarily mean that one also inherits the relevant personality traits of those who have come before . I am delighted to refute my own theory. My father was clearly driven by his business, it was the life line of his being. In tandem was his overriding, almost magnetic attraction to people and solving their insurance concerns. Although I don’t think one inherits such personality traits, it is certainly the case that environment is a contributing factor.
