CEO/ Chairman experience to help your company grow

RUSSELL T. COATS

Manager, Sales, product development and risk management

RUSSELL (RUSTY) COATS

Started in the Insurance business in 1970 for a life and Health company selling insurance across kitchen tables,

Since that time my career has grown through stages into the re-insurance industry creating specialty products,

Finding retirement at best boring, I wish to re-enter the actual sales arena with a firm that has the tools and capability to create a successful environment. Ready for new adventures. Please do not be put off because of age or experience as I would enjoy the challenge of starting over.
