Brad Ellis

I have 26+ years of experience in the trucking and insurance industries. Starting as a technician at a local Kenworth dealership and moving up to a purchasing manager over all three locations. This experience helped prepare me for a career transition into commercial insurance. For the past 21+ years I built, and transformed specialty claims teams into productive and profitable operations for multiple insurance companies. Additionally, I became a training facilitator for Nationwide Insurance in the Great Lakes Region. Tasked with providing training to the region on appraising and claims processing for boats, motorcycles, recreational vehicles, heavy truck, and heavy equipment. I managed the physical damage and cargo teams at Canal Insurance with national responsibility for nine years. Currently I’am the South East region appraiser for Federated Mutual Insurance.
