For us, there’s no such thing as “business as usual.”

Cast aside your previous perceptions of insurance agents. Gaining your business just to cut and run isn’t in our DNA. At BKS, we are deeply devoted to nurturing lasting relationships that benefit all parties.

BKS Partners was founded by industry veterans Lowry Baldwin, Elizabeth Krystyn, and Laura Sherman. Each partner has decades of technical expertise in traditional areas of commercial insurance, risk management, employee benefits, and private risk. ​

Their combined expertise creates a vantage point with a 360° view that optimally serves clients, colleagues, and insurance company partners.

Since opening our doors in 2006, the BKS Holistic Protection™ model has produced double-digit growth and unprecedented client retention.

At BKS, our clients’ needs are front and center. We look at every aspect of your risk topography and match products and services that best suit your needs—whether it benefits us or not.

Our culture of accountability also extends to our colleagues. “Powered by People,” is more than a buzzworthy catchphrase—it’s our mantra. Our aim is to attract and nurture intelligent, forthright, and creative individuals who strive for continual improvement.

Doing right by our insurers means cultivating partners that bring value to us both. We treat our carriers with respect and a mutual understanding that we can rely on each other to exceed expectations for our clients.

Work hard, play hard.

We’re not a bunch of stuffed shirts—we know how to have fun. Whether we’re celebrating our successes or concocting good-natured pranks, we cling tightly to the jovial spirit that binds us together and reignites our enthusiasm in the most challenging of circumstances.

The road to success is paved with our core values.

Our core values are who we are and what we stand for. They serve as our north star that guide us every day in every action we take.
