Background

About Sam Hoole

My path into insurance wasn’t linear—but then again, neither are the best stories. From hauling gear as an equipment manager for the University of Utah football team to knocking doors selling security systems in Mississippi heat, I’ve built resilience and a genuine love for connecting with people. I’ve spent the last 7+ years at IMA (formerly Diversified Insurance Group), starting in high-net-worth personal lines before shifting into commercial insurance—where I now help innovative companies manage complex risks across: Life Sciences & Biotech Crypto, Web3, and Emerging Tech Energy & Renewables Product-Based Businesses & Advanced Manufacturing Strategic risk advising, business development, and long-term partnerships are my focus—and I’m proud to have helped secure coverage for cutting-edge startups and high-growth firms here in the US. Outside of insurance, I’m probably participating in functional fitness, running ultras, honing my chess skills, exploring a new country, or supporting live music. Let’s connect—whether to talk risk strategy, running routes, or which band is most underrated live (spoiler: it's not Nickelback).
