Our Story
Our journey began in 1979, when David and Debbie Brown acquired the Donahue Agency and relocated from Blanchester to Ross County. With decades of experience and a deep connection to the Chillicothe community, David laid the foundation for an agency focused on building long-term relationships and delivering real value.
David and Debbie raised their two children, Jason and Julie, in the Chillicothe, Ohio area—instilling in them the values that would later shape the next generation of the business. In 2016, the agency transitioned to the capable hands of Jason D. Brown, CIC, and Julie Winters, CISR, following David’s semi-retirement.
Later that year, we closed our Greenfield, Ohio office location, then known as Cope Insurance Agency and merged it with our Frankfort, Ohio location. In 2019, Jason and Julie became co-owners, and in 2024, Jason became the sole owner—ushering in a new era of leadership rooted in experience and a forward-thinking approach.
