"Jeff has represented Motorists for 35 years where he's been known for his genuine interest and passion for his customers as well as protecting his companies. It's nice to see that recognized nationally by the PIA."           

"Jeff's business grew as a direct result of putting his clients and his community first," said PIAA of Ohio CEO George Haenszel. "His success comes from who he is, someone who gives because it is the right thing to do."
