Skip to footer BUILD YOUR BUSINESS Call Us About Us Breadcrumb Home About Us Our Story In 1955, Roger McCarty entered the insurance business. He spent many successful years as an agent, but grew frustrated with the hoops agents had to jump through every time they wanted to write a different product or get additional support. He had a vision of a better way—a one-stop marketing office agents could rely upon for access to a wide variety of products, great service, and comprehensive support. In 1983, Roger brought that dream to life when he founded Brokers International, changing the way agents and agencies would do business for decades to come. Brokers International has always been driven by Roger’s vision, and his family members have helped carry that vision out. Together, Roger, his nephew Bill, and his son Kelly, helped shape Brokers International, with Bill eventually serving as President and Kelly as Senior Vice President. Together, their shared passion for building agencies helped grow Brokers International into the company it is today: one of the nation’s largest and longest-standing insurance marketing organizations. Brokers International has remained a family-owned and independently-operated organization, still driven by Roger’s values of trustworthiness, empowerment, innovation, and dependability. We remain focused on meeting the needs of our agency partners and their financial professionals as we continue to help build agencies across the country. Why Brokers?
