MEET THE BROKER
PRINCIPLE BROKER
John is a Pacific Northwest native and a graduate from the University of Washington where he attended the UW Foster School of Business and earned a BA in Business Administration with a focus in Marketing and Environmental Science. After graduation, he pursued a career in information technology sales and entrepreneurship. His success in sales and wanting to help his community, he later turned to insurance in 2012 working as an insurance agent with LIberty Mutual. Working within the insurance industry, John saw that his clients needed more than a one size fits all insurance. He saw an opportunity to help his clients as an insurance broker to help tailor the needs of his clientele. So he married his passion to help his clientele and entrepreneurship to form South Lake Insurance in 2017. John is bilingual and speaks Vietnamese.
I look forward to helping you and your family find the coverage you need for your peace of mind.
