Local Allstate Agency: Meet Cato Insurance Group Inc
I’m a native Floridian who grew up in Plantation. My father acted as an insurance agent in our community from 1979. He used to practice his presentation for my sister and me. That knowledge stuck with me and shaped my decision to follow in my father’s footsteps. After graduating from the University of Florida, I joined my father’s agency to learn the business. To better serve customers with a wide array of products, I purchased my first Allstate agency in 2010. In the following years, I purchased and merged a total of eight agencies in the state of Florida.
Besides insurance, I’m involved in many other activities that support the South Florida community. For example, I joined Leadership Broward in 2010 and am a past board chair. The organization focuses on developing leaders to make a positive influence in Broward County. Being able to help change our community for the better is very meaningful to me. Outside of work, I like traveling, running, and going to the beach.
Allstate can offer a variety of personal, business and financial products that will work to meet your lifestyle needs. Call, email or stop by our office in the Bayview Corporate Tower on US-1, to see how we can help you to protect what matters most to you.
