ARMOND K. SCHWING President

How long have you been in insurance? How did you get your start?

I've been in the insurance business as an Agent for 33 years I got started working for an agency in Montgomery, AL specializing in writing surety bonds for contractors.

What is the best part about being an independent agent?

Helping so many different types of people and businesses is the most rewarding thing. We are a partner to them and protect some of the things that are very important to them. The job is never boring, and you learn so much about so many different types of businesses.

What makes your agency unique?

I think it's the way we view our co-workers We really have a family atmosphere that places value on people, not financial return. Many people who solely focus on making lots of money are not happy. I think that's because they have misplaced values. We have a work environment that focuses on the needs of everyone to be able to spend time with their family and have more time to enjoy life away from the office.

What is a fun fact about you?

When I was in college, I spent the summer of 1986 working offshore in California. On my time off, I stayed in LA Following my last hitch offshore I went on a Game Show and was the 6-time reigning champion winning $21,500 cash

What is your greatest accomplishment?

That's a no-brainer! Marrying my wife and us having children together. There is nothing I value more on Earth than my family. And, while I didn't have to accomplish anything to have such a great Tree, I had to accomplish finding the right person to marry so together we could create a great Branch.
