Roger Romero is one of Greyhawk's standout Producers and AVPs.

Raised in a household where health and wellness were paramount, he initially pursued a career in personal training, deeply influenced by his mother's dedication to marathon running and holistic living.

While health and fitness remained integral to his lifestyle, his professional trajectory took an unexpected turn during college when he embarked on an internship at Farmers Insurance. Under the guidance of a mentor, he gained invaluable insight into the corporate world and discovered a newfound passion for the insurance industry.

Driven by a desire to learn and succeed, he obtained his license and delved into the intricacies of insurance, specializing in serving high-net-worth individuals and businesses. Over nearly a decade with Farmers, he cultivated expertise in sectors such as law firms, dental offices, and restaurants, where comprehensive coverage and risk management were paramount.

As the insurance landscape evolved, presenting new challenges and opportunities, he remained adaptable and forward-thinking. Recognizing the potential of the broker world, he expanded his horizons, exploring new markets and specialties. In 2023, amid unprecedented industry volatility, he made the bold decision to join Greyhawk, drawn by the agency's innovative approach and supportive culture.

Despite initial hurdles and a significant commute, his dedication and resilience have yielded remarkable results. Now an integral part of the Greyhawk family, he thrives in an environment that values Integrity, Culture, Technology and forward motion.
