In our ongoing Meet the Team feature, we put a name and a face on the amazing members of our team. Today we would like to introduce Silveus Insurance Group (Silveus) Agent Brian Catron.

Where is your hometown and did you grow up around farming?

I grew up in Richmond, Indiana, and lived behind a corn and soybean field where I often played hide-and-seek. I have an uncle who farmed, raising hogs and growing corn and soybeans and I spent time on his farm while growing up.

What are your clients asking you about today?

Many of my clients are interested in the variety of unique products and services that we offer. As a Series 3 broker, I get asked a lot of questions about the markets and where I see commodity prices heading.

What is your approach to customer service?

I want every customer to feel like they are my only customer. I try to give everyone the time and attention they need and visit the farm each year; often multiple times a year.

How long have you been working at Silveus and what do you like best about your job?

I have a business and financial background and was managing healthcare facilities. My friend Scott Silveus had been asking me for six years to join his company; 11 years ago I finally joined Silveus and I’m so glad I did! I like the personal interaction with clients and helping them make their operations as profitable as possible the best.

What are you most excited about?

I’m most excited about the continual creativity at Silveus. We are an out-of-the-box, creative company that really strives to continually improve services. It’s fun to work in this environment.

What is one fun fact about yourself your co-workers don’t know?

I’ve had my fair share of unusual jobs including rollercoaster operator, beauty contest judge, maintenance director, and PGA scorer.
