North Canton, OH—Van Nostran Young Coutts retained its Best Practices status for 2024, joining an elite group of independent insurance agencies from across the United States. 

The Best Practices agency designation is awarded to participants in the Best Practices Study, which analyzes and documents the business practices of the highest-performing insurance agencies in the industry.

Over 2,600 independent agencies throughout the U.S. were nominated for the selection process. For the 2024 Study year, only 235 independent agencies throughout the U.S. qualified for and retained their status as Best Practices agencies.

Since 1993, the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (IIABA or the Big “I”) and Reagan Consulting, an Atlanta-based management consulting firm, have joined forces to study the country’s leading agencies in six revenue categories.

Best Practices agencies are selected every three years through a rigorous nomination and qualifying process. Each agency must be among the 35-45 top-performing agencies in its revenue category to be awarded Best Practices status. 

Best Practices agencies retain their status annually during the three-year cycle by submitting extensive financial and operational data for review. 2024 is the third year of the current three-year study cycle.

I’ve worked in the insurance industry for over 25 years, including six years in underwriting with Cincinnati Insurance before joining Van Nostran Insurance in 2000. Since 2000, we have continued the hallmarks of the Van Nostran team, which are problem solving, compassion, and providing risk management solutions for all clients. Having company and agency experience allows me to provide clients with both perspectives.

As a Canton native and graduate of Glen Oak High School, I love and understand our community. I got my bachelor’s degree in business management from Kent State University where I also met my wife of over 25 years. Sue and I have two grown children, Drake and Lily, and enjoy participating in various community organizations including North Canton Rotary, Ohio Franchise Association, and Leadership Council.

I’m an avid sports fan, especially of my Dallas Cowboys! Playing golf, basketball, and staying active are important to me. Sue and I also enjoy hiking, boating, being near water, eating at local restaurants, and spending time with family and friends.
