There’s a lot to be said for longevity in business and John’s 40-plus years of experience speaks volumes. A career-long employee of SilverStone Group, he’s seen our organization grow from 20 employees in 1971 to nearly 200 employees today. He’s also seen benefits trends come and go and he’s well-versed in the day-to-day workings of the employee benefits industry. As a manager of group health and life accounts, he enjoys finding solutions for groups whose size may make coverage placement challenging. John and his team believe that the size of the group shouldn’t dictate the service it receives — for them, every client is important. And every client receives the same personal attention, beginning with needs analysis and continuing with extensive research until the most appropriate coverage is found.
John also believes in giving back to the community, and he does that through membership in a number of professional organizations, including the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce and Industry, where he served on the Board of Directors as Chairman of the Health Care Council for several years. He currently serves as Vice Chairman of the Health Care Council and as a member of the Education Council. He is also a member of the National Association of Health Underwriters and the Omaha Association of Health Underwriters where he is currently Legislation Chairperson. John recently served on the Nebraska Health Insurance Policy Coalition and participated in the preparation of a report entitled “Recommendations for Expanding Health Insurance Coverage for Individual and Families in the Small Employer Market.”
