MEET LEON

One Advisor Across More of the Insurance Conversation

Leon’s insurance career has been built around direct relationships with people and businesses. Since 2024, his work has included employee benefits, life insurance, enrollment support and insurance sales, working with employers, employees, brokers, families and business owners.

As his work with businesses grew, Leon saw the same issue repeatedly: insurance needs rarely stay in one lane. A business owner may need commercial coverage, employee benefits and personal life insurance. A family may need life insurance while also thinking about their home, vehicles and liability protection. Lion Insurance Group was created to make those conversations easier to coordinate.

Today, Leon works across Life & Health, employee benefits and Property & Casualty insurance. His goal is not to overwhelm clients with products. It is to understand what they are trying to protect, explain the available options in plain language and help them take the next appropriate step.

Leon is especially comfortable working with business owners and employers who value a responsive, relationship-driven approach. His experience includes conversations with contractors, trades, service companies, home-health businesses, HR teams, brokers and professional partners, as well as individuals and families looking for personal protection.

WHY LION?

Why “Lion” Insurance Group?

The name starts with my own name, Leon. But it also reflects what I want the agency to stand for: strength, protection and having someone in your corner. Insurance can get complicated quickly. My goal is simple: when you need help, you can reach out to Lion and know you have someone who will listen, explain your options clearly and help you protect what matters.

3

Use the Right Market

Available carriers and products are considered based on the client, state, risk and eligibility.

4
