Key City Insurance

Ron Thurman established our company April 1st, 1981. After purchasing a failing agency from a divorcing couple he turned the business around and had the company paid off with the first 6 months of taking over. While we have purchased several other agencies over the years, our second location was opened in Orem, Utah in 2004. After successfully getting that location off the ground, we opened our third location in St George, Utah in 2010. Our founder Ron Thurman came from humble beginnings. Growing up in a 1200 square foot home with two older brothers and a younger sister, he learned the value of sharing, considering the home only had one bathroom. His father worked most his life in a steel factory and mother went between working for the phone company and staying at home with the kids. After marrying in 1969 and moving to California he had 5 children and started his carrier in insurance while working through college. His ultimate goal was to run a farm and graduated with a degree in agronomy. He quickly found he could make more money selling insurance, than growing fruit. As his children grew they found the business to be a great learning tool and under their father close eye, 4 out of the 5 children now make their living working in insurance.
