    About David R. Carothers

    David has held positions in sales and sales leadership throughout his career. Currently, he is the Agency Principal of Florida Risk Partners, LLC – a full-service insurance and risk management firm in the Tampa Bay area. In his current role, David is responsible for identifying, recruiting, training, and retaining high quality sales talent. During his 3 decades in the workforce, David has held jobs in door-to-door sales, retail, e-commerce, business to consumer and business to business sales.

His unique experience has allowed him to create a definable set of actions that are simple to implement but nearly never used.

    The greatest deal David has closed comes in marrying his wife, Andrea. When he is not working, David enjoys spending his time with his wife and 4 children.  Whether spending the day at a theme park, relaxing on a cruise boat or spending a long weekend fishing in the Florida keys, time with family is David’s number one priority.
