The Mayor of Insurance Town!

I've had the pleasure of working with Randy Carroll for the past two years and I've always admired his eye for details and his ability to get the most out of his colleagues. I also had the opportunity to attend the 2019 IBAO Conference in Toronto with him and I was simply blown away by his industry connections in the insurance world. Randy is well respected and is an asset to any insurance organization he works with.
