Hello Everyone!
My name is Chase Henderson, Principal Broker of ReduceMyInsurance.Net. Today I thought I would take a little time to tell tell you a bit more about myself and my family. Although I do love the business, Insurance has not always been my dream!
I started my career at Middle Tennessee State University where I studied to be a professional pilot during a time where all the airlines were laying off pilots! After realizing the bleak outlook for my career path (at the time), I changed my major to a business and marketing concentration. I did however obtain a pilots license in the process, so If you every want to go flying just give me a call ( and supply the plane of course!).
After Graduation, I worked for a large tobacco company as a senior field coordinator for the southeastern region. My job was to set up and coordinate staffing for interactive events such as NASCAR Races, NHRA Drag Races, Rodeos, Music festivals trade shows and more. This job was a lot of fun, and allowed me to travel the country at a young age. After 7 years with the company, a corporate merger outsourced my job to 3rd party firm.
At this time I accepted a job with a major beverage distributor as a territory sales representative where I managed 100+ accounts. Boy was this a hard job! I will not go into details, but i will say I have lots of respect for anyone in the drink or DSD Route sales business! Although I did well, the job was not for me. A year of 60-80 hour weeks wore thin on my soul. It was the worst job that became the best thing that ever happened to me! Through a blind date set up by one of my co-workers, I met my future wife Krystle.
Suddnly, the good Lord provided me an out...The restaurant business! At the time I thought this sounded great. I was offered a job as a general manager and corporate trainer of a quick serve restaurant, and I took it! The pay was better, so life was good right! After about 2 years of this, I realized I had found the only business that required you to work more hours than the drink business!
Even though My store was one of the top restaurants in the chain, It was not enough to keep the others in the franchise group afloat that were not doing so well. The company ultimately went bankrupt and that job came to an end as well. Fortunantly for me I was able to see the writing on the wall, and began to study for my insurance license on the weekends. The same month I passed my license exam, The chain let all the managers go and decided to try to run the stores without management.
I wanted to start a new career that would reward hard work and long hours. I was tired of working for other companies that had no loyalty to the very employees who's backs they were built on. But most of all, I wanted to do something that would help people. At the end of the day, I get to help someone rebuild thier house and replace their belongings after loosing everything they own. I get to help someone get that car replaced after a bad accident, and take care of someones loss of business income after a devistating loss to their business.
In 2012, I got married to the love of my life Krystle! She is everything that I am not, and supports me every step of the way in our business pursuits. In 2013 I launched ReduceMyInsurance.Net, an Independent Insurance Agency. To date, We have helped over 800 clients find the most affordable coverage option to fit their needs with more than 100 different insurance companies and growing. We pride ourselves on helping clients find the right coverage to protect their needs, while helping them make cost effective decisions to improve the family budget. We rely on top of the line comparative rating technology that allows us to simeltaneously get quotes from all of the companies we represent to quickly find the best available options and coverage. We take all of the work out of insurance shopping by doing the work for you!
In 2014, My life was changed once again when we had my little girl Avery! She is the love of my life! If you've ever been to my office you will see lots of pictures of her, and most likely herd me talk about her. She sure has me wrapped around her tiny little finger!
In 2015 due to rapid growth, I had to enlist the help of an assistant. Many of you have probably spoken with Kristina at some time or another. She has been such a blessing to me and really helped us get organized to handle the workload and provide better customer service.
So thats the story of me, your agent, and ReduceMyInsurance.Net! I am very thankful for each and every one of your as clients and truly enjoy serving as your agent. If you every have questions or just want to chat give me a call any time at 615-900-0288 .
