About John Olkowski

Joined McConkey in 2005 - Fresh out of school and armed with the full extent of my knowledge about insurance being "premiums are what I pay to the insurance company to be able to keep driving my car, right?"Looking back - I never did like paying those bills. Especially when (despite more speeding tickets than I'd like to admit) I never had any claims. Just felt like a waste each time I wrote a check. Since then have been fortunate to learn a lot more about insurance. Have studied for insurance designations (CIC, CRM, AAI, CPIA) and have had plenty of real life, on the job training. Fully appreciate the benefits it brings to individuals, businesses, and society at large when structured properly. BUT. to this day I still see plenty of companies who feel stuck like my 22 year old self; continually paying for insurance and barely using it. Who feel like the arbitrage between their premiums and claims is just helping someone on wall street buy another jet. We can help. Myself and the rest of the team at McConkey aren't paid on individual commissions like most insurance agents. There is no conflict of interest in keeping you in a high cost/high commission insurance program that doesn’t benefit you. We are here to help you gain transparency, stability, and control over your insurance program - even if it means less revenue for our organization. We value relationships with our clients more than that. We feel in the long run, our approach will continue to resonate with more and more locally operated businesses and fuel our growth that way. If you'd like to connect and learn more, please reach out - would love to connect with you and learn if our unique model and philosophy could potentially help you.
