Mike Smith, CEO of Axis Insurance Services was named Top Specialist Broker by Insurance Business America in their January 2020 issue. 

Mike was highlighted as an insurance expert in Financial Institutions, Insurance Brokers, Commercial Real Estate, and Managed Care Organizations. The feature highlighted 47 market experts who have mastered a specific area of expertise to help secure coverage for specialty clients and hard-to-place risks.

Upon learning this news, Mike had this to say about his inclusion. “I'm truly honored to be featured in IBA magazine this year. I needed to find a career that would allow me to utilize my analytical skills as a former CPA to help companies that need something beyond a commodity broker. Our company has continued to refine and make our products better and as a result, our clients continue to give us praise, not only for our business but for our commitment to finding the best products for them.”
