Meet the Business Owner: Bart B.
Bart originally grew up on a family farm near Shickley where he and his family raised corn, milo, and soybeans and worked in agriculture for 18 years after graduating with a degree in agricultural economics from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
His father also owned an insurance agency in Shickley for 15 years and in 1998 became a partner in Walter Insurance Agency. He soon realized he had found his new career. He liked selling a product everyone needs, in an industry that helps people. The analytical/numbers side of him was well suited to analyzing coverage and his farm background proved invaluable for farm and crop policies.
Earning his insurance and real estate licenses gave him the technical know-how for his new role. But he learned what's really important on the job: Pay attention. Listen. Anticipate what people need. Go the extra mile (literally - he often logs several hundred miles a day following up on crop, car and home owner claims).
