Management Team
Ryan McManus
President
Ryan began his insurance career working for the world's largest independent reinsurance intermediary, Benfield Group. The Westport, Connecticut-based broker provided Ryan invaluable experience in all facets of treaty and facultative reinsurance and finance.
After moving back to Ohio, Ryan was engaged in retail insurance sales for Oswald Companies, one of the 40 largest brokers in the United States.
During the course of business, Ryan was bitten hard by the entrepreneurial bug. He made the decision that hanging his own shingle would enable him to do what he does best - serve clients with custom policies designed to fit their unique risk reduction and insurance requirements.
His specialized and rigorous insurance industry training includes, The Westfield TAPP Program, Benfield Group Phase Training, and The Hartford School of Insurance Commercial Lines. Ryan received his BA from the College of Wooster, where he played varsity collegiate soccer for four years for the "Fighting Scots".
