About

Being a native East Tennessean is a proud tradition for me; I was raised in this area and attended The University of Tennessee, where I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in 1993. While attending UT, I was blessed to be part of another proud East Tennessee tradition as a walk on player for The University of Tennessee Volunteers football team. In the over 20 years since, I have been professionally involved in both the insurance industry and the hospitality industry. I was first licensed as an insurance agent in 1994 for Property, Casualty, Life and Health and then transitioned into the hospitality industry for almost a decade. First as an owner/operator – and even now as an investor – I have a thorough understanding of the complexities involved in hotel operations and other service-intensive industries, including completion of the Certified Hotel Owners (CHO) program through AAHOA.

My experience in and with the hospitality industry allows me a unique vantage point to steer around the common – and even the not-so-common – stumbling blocks that can obstruct the flow of operations. That is why I decided to offer a wide range of services, all designed around helping you operate your hotel more easily and more efficiently. As the owner and CEO of Ace Insurance Consultants, I want ensure that we are always driven by the real needs and issues that real business owners face on a daily basis. My goal is to ensure that our business always remains 100% hospitality-connected.
​
However, my dealings with hotel owners and entrepreneurs have provided me with the opportunity to branch out in other commercial arenas as well. Ace Insurance Consultants clientele now includes a variety of industries, such as Auto Dealerships, Convenience Stores, and Eco-Friendly businesses that serve the hospitality industry. To that end, Ace Insurance Consultants provides all types of Insurance Services – from Liability and Building Coverages to Employee Workers’ Comp and Life Insurance plans designed to protect your business interests, including the often overlooked Buy-Sell Agreement. We also advise and offer products in the more personal areas of insurance such as Home, Auto and personal Life Insurance. I have been where you are – and today, more than ever, navigating your way around all the different service offerings and mailings can be a hassle and a headache – so I have joined forces with local experts for your more technical needs as well. Ace Insurance Consultants partners with local service providers and companies that can offer solutions for HR and Payroll management as well.

​Ace Insurance Consultants has proudly joined WCH Casualty and their team to provide over 60 years of experienced professional knowledge to increase the expertise to deal with today’s risk facing current as well as future clients. WCH Casualty’s offices are in west Knoxville and now the home of Ace Insurance Consultants as well. We gladly look forward to taking care of you.
