At first blush, Cole Tucker cuts an unassuming figure. But if this life teaches you anything, it's that looks are often deceiving.
The president and owner of Tucker-Franklin Insurance Group Inc. in Mechanicsville, Va., Tucker spends his days overseeing his agency, working with the National Association of Professional Insurance Agents (PIA), meeting with clients, teaching, and maintaining a well-balanced personal life with his wife of 20 years and teenaged son and daughter. His is a successful life, his agency generating more than $3 million in premium—with about 85% to 90% personal lines and the rest small commercial and life & health.
Yet when he talks about his own accomplishments, Tucker's humility is at once genuine and disarming. Why him, he asks? Of course he works hard to give of himself to all that he can. Doesn't everyone?
