About Us

Our role as Insurance Risk Advisors is to educate our Business and Personal Clients on their risks and create innovative solutions to mitigate those risks and retain their assets in the event of a loss or lawsuit. Our areas of expertise are with  families and individuals, including entrepreneurs and executives.   Our approach goes beyond the average agent's ability; we show our clients how to manage their insurance portfolio so that the coverage's meet their individual needs and goals.  In addition to Property & Casualty, we also provide solutions to long term care insurance, life insurance, and disability insurance.  

We were originally founded by Dick Smith in 1968, in 2005 Rick, Dick's son purchased the agency and now the legacy continues with Dick's daughter, Rick's sister, Kim Gilles.  Kim has been in the insurance business since 1982 and had a small agency in Delaware, OH. Kim has worked in both the agency side and as a commercial underwriter on the company side right out of college.  She has a degree in Business with a specialization in Insurance from Bowling Green State University.  Although she enjoyed working in the company atmosphere, she was drawn to helping her customers find the best fit in coverage and premium.  She wanted to make sure that the clients have the coverage they need to fit their budgets.   We are a family owned and operated business with combined insurance experience of over 200 years.
