This partnership brings together agencies with deep roots in their communities and a shared commitment to long-term client relationships. Griffin Owens Insurance was established in 1981 and Puffenbarger Insurance Services in 1989. Both agencies have grown steadily over time, including through the acquisitions of the Robert W. Pierce Agency in 2013 and the Matt Stone Agency in 2018.

“We’re excited about this partnership and the opportunities it brings for our clients,” said Scott Puffenbarger, co-owner of Puffenbarger Insurance Services. “By joining forces, we’ll be able to offer expanded access to a broader range of insurance carriers—while continuing to deliver the outstanding service and personalized attention our clients have come to expect.”

All four agencies share a common history as Nationwide agencies. Each was individually recognized with Nationwide’s Hall of Fame honor—an achievement that reflects consistent performance and a strong commitment to client service. Now, these four Hall of Fame agencies come together under one organization.

“This partnership brings together teams that share a long history and a commitment to serving clients,” said Don Owens, co-owner at Griffin Owens Insurance. “We’re excited to build on that foundation and continue supporting our clients and communities as Leavitt Capital Insurance Services, LLC.”

Griffin Owens affiliated with Leavitt Group in 2020, and Puffenbarger followed in 2021. The formation of Leavitt Capital Insurance Services represents the next step in that shared journey.

Clients will continue working with the same teams they know, with expanded access to insurance companies, additional resources, and five office locations across Virginia, including Culpeper, Warrenton, Herndon, Falls Church, and Manassas.

Leavitt Capital Insurance Services brings these agencies together under one organization, supported by local leadership and the broader resources of Leavitt Group.

Leavitt Group is one of the largest privately held insurance brokerages in the nation with a mission to build, serve, and perpetuate independent insurance agencies as partners with local co-owners. With an extensive network of 80+ agencies and 290+ locations across 30 states, Leavitt Group offers a distinctive advantage with local ownership, delivering a personalized and collaborative approach to commercial insurance, employee benefits, and personal insurance.
