“extremely knowledgeable with all areas of employee benefits…”

Over the past number of years, I’ve had the confidence and pleasure of entrusting Semmes with our company’s employee benefits. Semmes is extremely knowledgeable with all areas of employee benefits and could always be trusted to be creative when we were presented with challenges in these areas.

Over the many years that we worked with Semmes, I found him to always be diligent and responsive to all of our requests and extremely personable for all of our employees to work with. Semmes was a true partner, in every sense of the word.

I have known Semmes for over 40 years and have worked with him as my insurance agent since the late 1980s.
