Agency Owner
J. Craig Wilson
I started with the company fourteen years ago and had no prior industry experience. I had a new house, a new wife and a new life. After being laid off from my previous employment in the beverage industry, I was brought on board by my next-door neighbor. A short time after, I realized that I wanted to build my own team, and quickly understood this was the steppingstones to build my success.
In my current role as agency owner, I am excited to share the same opportunity and success that I have been blessed with. I have an amazing team working alongside me, and I look forward to helping them reach their full potential and taking their career to the next level. I feel incredibly blessed to be a part of a company that has been in Gainesville, Georgia since 1952
