Meet Our Leaders
We're leading through service.
Our leaders are also licensed insurance agents and focused on one thing: helping our agents succeed.
Guardian Service was born out of a belief that there had to be a better way.
In 2017, my wife Katie and I paid $3,393 for our home and auto insurance. A few years later, that number jumped to $8,665. When I turned to my agent for answers, I got none. So I spent hours shopping every major carrier myself and eventually lowered my premium. The process was slow, confusing, and completely outdated.
That's why John and I created Guardian Service, a modern insurance agency with the power of data and digital tools."
– Zach Clayton, Co-Founder
"We're designing the insurance experience Steve Jobs would have demanded if he didn't have his assistant do it for him."– John Clayton, Co-Founder

Hear From Our Team
Reflections from some of the people behind Guardian Service.
"What sets Guardian Service apart is how much energy people bring to their work and to each other. When a teammate helps a member, they ring the gong and everyone stops what they're doing to cheer. We play pickleball, have golf simulator tournaments, and do spontaneous happy hours to celebrate our milestones and successes. It's a place where people are excited to show up, support one another, and celebrate every win — big or small."
