Amy Hurst
Commercial Account Manager
I have nearly 15 years experience in Insurance Account Management, Client Services and Production.
I pride myself on the ability to build real relationships with my clients and they trust me. I am an innate protector so making sure my insureds are covered adequately comes second nature for me.
In my spare time I’m all about spending time with my immediate and extended family, nurturing my real estate clients, and enjoying a nice glass of red and or white :-)
