Michael Jones
is the current Chairman and CEO of H&H
Insurance Services, Inc. A true Georgia
“native”, Michael is the descendant of
original settlers in North Georgia and what
is now the Metropolitan Atlanta area.
Members of the Jones family have established
a strong background in the area’s
construction, farming and power plant
management fields.
A 1969
Graduate of West Georgia College, Michael
earned his Business Science degree and
immediately went to work for Wausau
Insurance Companies. He held positions in
Claims, Loss Control and Underwriting before
beginning his sales career in 1975. It was
while working at Wausau that Michael met
Christopher Wortham, Patricia Lisk and Bill
Hyatt – all key contributors to H&H
Insurance Services, Inc. Christopher is the
current President of H&H Insurance Services,
Inc. Patricia Lisk is the Vice President of
Casualty Operations and Bill Hyatt is the
Underwriting Manager. Bill has recently
retired but still active with H & H.
In the early
80’s, Michael left Wausau to begin working
with a very large international brokerage,
Frank B. Hall and Company of Georgia. He
watched his already successful book of
business grow to become an even more
successful book of both international and
domestic property and casualty business. It
was at Frank B. Hall and Company of Georgia
that Michael met Kim Haynes, another H&H
Insurance Services, Inc. Principal and Susan
Sullivan, H&H Insurance Services, Inc.’s top
Benefits Producer.
Toward the end
of the 80’s and during a transitioning time
in the Property & Casualty industry, Michael
and the others recognized the opportunity to
work for a smaller establishment with
national exposure. The group of six joined
Harris & Harris of Georgia. After four
years of demonstrating their ability,
Michael Jones, Christopher Wortham, Patricia
Lisk and Kim Haynes purchased the
outstanding stock and assets of Harris &
Harris of Georgia and formed H&H Insurance
Services, Inc.
Forming long
term, successful relationships with clients,
business associates and insurance company
executives is of utmost importance to
Michael and has certainly played a
monumental role in his success - quite a few
of his original clients are still served by
H&H Insurance Services, Inc. to this day!
Through his experience, Michael has
developed an open and approachable
management style and continues to take an
interest in every aspect of H&H Insurance
Services, Inc. Michael is proud of the
financial stability and strength that H&H
Insurance Services, Inc. has developed
throughout the years and is intent on
operating H&H Insurance Services, Inc. as a
“local” establishment committed to serving
its customers – H&H Insurance Services, Inc.
is fiercely independent and intent on
maintaining its independence throughout the
next decade.
In addition to
growing the business, Michael is active in
civic and political arenas. Having been
involved in the Boy Scouts of America since
a child, Michael continues to participate in
scouting activities to this day.
Michael’s
greatest accomplishment, however, are his
children – 23, 24 & 26 – all currently
attending college. Melanie the youngest
will graduate with honors from the U.S. Air
Force Academy and go on for pilot training.
Christopher will be graduating from Georgia
State with a degree in Insurance and Risk
Management, and Shelby will be in her second
year of a doctors program in Micro Biology.
Shelby has started her family and now
Michael has two grand children 4 and 10
months.
