www.sigsc.com | 7 FAMILY TRADITION MEETS COASTAL PROTECTION In 2009, when the couple’s youngest child started high school, Gina returned to the insurance business fulltime and with vigor. She began the foundation work to open an independent insurance agency, and, in 2011, partnered with her oldest son, Sass Schirmer, to open the doors of Schirmer Insurance Group. As a graduate of the University of Alabama, and having gone through the devastating tornado of 2011, Sass Schirmer expressed an interest in the insurance industry. “When he returned home after assisting with several weeks of the recovery in Tuscaloosa, he mentioned how much he had truly enjoyed helping people,” Gina remembered. “Over those few weeks, he realized that the insurance business would certainly allow him to do just that. Our hope is that, after college and a little experience on their own, our daughter and other son will find their way and decide to join us for this family affair.” Schirmer Insurance Group focuses on the individual insurance needs of its clients and finds solid solutions based on the planned, as well as the unexpected. The agency offers a variety of carrier options and a full line of insurance products. They gladly share their knowledge of personal and commercial property insurance guidelines within the coastal region. “All of us always have room for improvement and should embrace the change that life places before us,” said Gina. “Business development allows me to evaluate those changes, develop a plan of action and put that plan into motion. I thoroughly enjoy the gratification I get from interacting with our clients and our carrier partners and engaging with our dynamic team of insurance professionals. And I take great pride in creating and developing. I do my very best to stay focused on motivation and enthusiasm, and I let my faith do a lot of the work.” AN ACT OF NATURE WE SHALL NEVER FORGET SEPTEMBER 1989 Sponsored by www.HugoMagazine.com ACCESS HISTORY HERE Carolina Coastal Insurance Magazine is published by Explore Coastal Carolina LLC.
