  • Two Under-Served Areas of the Insurance Marketplace on Buckhead Business Show
    Two Under-Served Areas of the Insurance Marketplace on Buckhead Business Show
    Buz McOmber
    McOmber Insurance 
    My family began in the insurance business in 1893 with my grandfather, Fred T. McOmber. He and my father built one of the largest independent insurance agencies in Michigan through their focus on honesty, great customer service, community involvement and making policy holders the center of everything they did. That’s the world I grew up in and those are the values I carry forward with me to this day. My business career in multiple industries over 45 years has as its foundation the desire to make my clients more effective, their businesses function more successfully and always doing the right thing on their behalf.
    I have a degree in investment finance from Miami University (Ohio) and spent my first five years out of college as a Naval Officer serving shipboard out of Norfolk, VA and as base Supply Officer & Comptroller at the ammunition depot on Guam. I spent 28 years in the technology industry, working in large systems for IBM, followed by a role as a leader in a desktop systems integration and leasing firm and then finally as a sales leader managing relationships with Gartner, Inc.’s largest clients including GM, Sara Lee, Ford, Chrysler and Coca Cola.
    I was driven to enter the “family business” by my desire to help those who struggle to find affordable health insurance as well as long term care insurance that makes financial sense. I take community involvement seriously having served on the inaugural Executive Board of the Brookhaven Chamber of Commerce, working on Habitat for Humanity home builds, and mission work in Tanzania.
    My wife Kimberly & I have been married for 46 year and are the parents of three wonderful children and now enjoy six grandchildren.
    Brief Description of Product or Service:
    Focused on two under-served areas of the insurance marketplace:
    1) Health coverage for the small/medium sized business (5 & up) and also those larger business where they have individuals who can't afford the group plan offered by the employer. I also serve larger companies that are self-funded to help them manage there routine medical costs which fall straight to the bottom line.
    2) The long term care market has been in disarray because of carriers leaving the market and large increases in premiums. I offer a hybrid life/long term care product from a large A+ rated company that provides 2x the face value of the underlying life policy for a price only slightly above what a life policy costs. It's also guaranteed issue for groups of 5 employees & up - up to $100K ($200K LTC). This provides smaller companies with the ability to offer a benefit that few others do and for the average person who thought they couldn't afford either life or long term care insurance to have both.
    Our insurance products are excellent fits for the markets I have identified because they all struggle with offering affordable, accessible and simple to use health coverage. The hybrid Life/Long Term Care product addresses the shrinking number of providers and the many broken promises of affordable premiums to help people in their later years.
    Topics to Discuss: 
    State of both health ins mkt and Long Term Care mkt
    Who we serve, why & how we add value
    Why limited medical plans
    Why hybrid Life/LTC

    Join Michael Flock of FLOCK Specialty Finance as he interviews Mike Boyle. Mike is the Founder of C&E Acquisitions (C&E), a debt buyer based in Bel Air, Maryland focused on asset purchases in the healthcare space. Following the sale of C&E Acquisitions to Diverse Funding, he became Executive Vice President of Diverse, a leading middle market debt buyer. Mike discusses lessons learned from his previous work experience, including a stint at a hardware store that surprisingly carried through to his career in debt purchasing.
    Mike started the company while he was an account executive at EMC Corporation where he was selling data center and infrastructure services to hospitals and law firms. He gained an appreciation for technology while working at Systems Alliance where he sold technology solutions to the university marketplace. Mike first learned financial analysis skills at Partners First Holdings where he managed the financial aspect of its outsourcing relationship with FDR. He also had gained valuable exposure to advertising principles when he started his career at MBNA managing major advertising campaigns including the launch of the Platinum Card.
    Mike was the first in his family to graduate from college earning BA degrees in Business Administration and Marketing before adding an MBA in Finance from Loyola University Maryland. He is the proud father of three children.

His company (Bespokuture, Inc.) provides high-end custom suits, shirts, shoes, casual wear, and leather accessories for men and women across the globe.

    Michael Hollingsworth: Attorney, Son of an Entrepreneur and Now, Servant to Entrepreneurs
    Michael Flock, of FLOCK Specialty Finance, speaks with Michael Hollingsworth of Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough. Hollingsworth shares his insights on being a “Trusted Advisor” for his clients by helping his clients avoid the traditional pitfalls and obstacles that present themselves during the deal making process through the use of his experience and common sense.
    As co-head of the Mergers & Acquisitions and Investment Management Groups, Michael’s focus is on middle-market corporate transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures. He also serves on the firm’s Executive Committee, which is the governing body of seven partners who oversee the firm’s standing committees, strategic initiatives and operations.
    He received a Master of Laws in Taxation from the University of Alabama School of Law, a JD from Samford University Cumberland School of Law, and a BA from Tulane University in Political Science. He serves on the board of trustees for the Woodruff Arts Center and The St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School, and is also a board member of the Tulane Fund.
    Here is a glimpse of what Michael shared in the interview:
    “Everyone can study and learn the law, but how to apply it…and number one, develop a relationship with a client so that you can help them.”
    “Law firms are either on the same side of the table as their client or they’re on the opposite side of the table”
    “Clients hire lawyers, not law firms.”
    “Life is a gift, and when you think of life as a gift, then it changes your outlook on even the worst days.”

    Here is a glimpse of what John shared in the interview:
    “I actually got into banking totally by mistake or kismet…through that process, that six month training class, decided I loved business and I loved banking.”
    “… learned a lot about life in the Boy Scouts. About challenges and overcoming obstacles and pushing yourself further than maybe you’d think you were capable of.”
    “… that’s something that our generation can learn from the millennials, their willingness to try different things and not be so locked into one career.”
    Please join Michael Flock of FLOCK Specialty Finance as he interviews “growth” entrepreneur, John Coffin.
    John is the Co-Founder of Practical Growth Advisors (PGA) which is a consulting and advisory firm focused on serving privately held companies and helping them grow faster with confidence.

    Prior to founding PGA, John was the Co-Founder and Executive Vice President of Atlantic Capital Bank. He oversaw the Bank’s Regional Corporate Banking, Financial Institutions and Capital Markets divisions. Atlantic Capital is the largest startup bank in US history with an initial capital raise of $125MM. After opening in May of 2007, Atlantic Capital quickly grew to become a $2.9 billion bank, primarily by executing the core strategy of serving the finance and banking needs of growing, privately-held companies. John earned a BA degree in English from Dartmouth College and received a MBA from Columbia University Graduate School of Business.
