ABOUT US
There's a lot to know. We'll keep it brief.
In 1984, after a successful career in retail management, John W. Seltzer entered the life insurance business with the ultimate goal of owning his own company. John was invited to join a nationally recognized life insurance practice in 1987 to begin an employee benefits division. Eventually, this new business venture became one of the largest employee benefit firms in Western Pennsylvania. When this company was sold in 2010, John joined his son Jason in establishing their own company. John believed this was the best way to continue his philosophy of being a true consultancy to small and mid-sized employers and to grow and expand the business as a result of changes taking place in the market.
