Bryant Mountain Insurance

In November 2018, Cory left his current insurance agent job to follow his dreams of opening and owning his own agency. He knew it would be a more difficult path by starting his business from scratch, but, ultimately, it would allow him to grow a client focused business where he has the freedom to do what is right and best for his clients. Bryant Mountain Insurance began writing business in February 2019. Cory continues to grow his client focused business, always looking for more opportunities to better serve his clients. He's eternally grateful for the support, advice, and love he's seen from his family, friends, and the Fannin County community.
