As President and Founder, Steven has provided the leadership, guidance and industry expertise that has catapulted the success of The Zachary Group. Steven began his career as an exclusive agent with Farmers Insurance Group in 2005. He started his first agency with zero clients and within 3 years, it had grown into one of the largest business insurance agencies within the Farmers Insurance Group network. By 2008, his agency was one of the premier agencies within the 50,000 agent distribution network. Understanding the limitations of the exclusive agency model, he departed Farmers Insurance Group in 2012 and formed his own independent insurance brokerage firm. Steven has always mandated that he and his team become the experts in the industry and has focused his efforts on growing the company with that premise in mind. This core value has never been more important than in the midst of the 2020 global pandemic and recovery. Steven has been able to guide a multitude of business clients and industries through one of the most troubling economic environments many businesses have ever faced.
Over the course of the past 5 years, Steven has acquired, grown and sold several insurance agencies. Steven's entrepreneurial spirit and zest has guided the company to where it is today. In his spare time, Steven spends it in various community outreach endeavors related to resettlement and immigration. He has assisted and facilitated the successful resettlement and acclimation of numerous refugee families in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.
