Shawn Iverson began insurance in 1993 while attending USU. Upon graduating in finance, he decided to continue his career by educating clients about insurance rather than “selling” insurance. In 2003, Shawn wrote his first alarm dealer and immediately fell in love with the security industry. Since then, The Insurance Center has a department devoted to the alarm/security/fire/PERS/ industry. Shawn’s passion, energy and knowledge of insurance in this industry, has provided speaking opportunities all across the nation. Although some feel insurance to be a mundane topic, you will not want to Shawn’s class. |
