Colonial Appalachia

What happens when you get sick or hurt and can’t work?

Yesterday, a Colonial Appalachia agent had one of those conversations that reminds us exactly why we do what we do.

A policyholder he enrolled in the past originally took our short-term disability coverage because his wife, who has diabetes, needed access to guaranteed-issue life insurance.

At the time, we put life insurance in place for his wife and also set him up with him $3,000 per month in short-term disability coverage.

Yesterday, he reach out to the agent to say thank you.

Since they last met, the policyholder suffered a collapsed lung and was unable to work for about 3½ months.

During that time, his Colonial Life short-term disability policy paid him more than $12,000 in benefits.

He’s back at work now.

And he shared how much those benefits meant to him and his family while he was out. It was a life line.

That’s the part of this business that matters.

We talk about policies, premiums and benefits every day—but when someone gets sick or hurt and suddenly can’t earn their paycheck, those numbers become very real.

We really do something important for people.

Sometimes you don’t fully see the impact of the work until years later.

Yesterday was one of those days.

Do you have a sense of adventure?

Some people see airports, hotels, and new cities as an inconvenience.

Others see opportunity.

This career has taken me across the country, introduced me to incredible people, and opened doors I never imagined.

The travel isn’t the reason I do this.

It’s a byproduct of building a career with freedom, growth, and unlimited potential.

If you’re ambitious, coachable, enjoy meeting people, and would rather build a life than just earn a paycheck, I’d like to talk with you.

I’m looking for a few people who are ready for an opportunity that can genuinely change the trajectory of their lives.

I’m excited to announce that Colonial Appalachia has expanded.

In addition to the employee benefits we’ve built our agency on, we now offer:

✅ Individual Health Insurance
✅ ACA Marketplace Plans
✅ Group Health Insurance for Businesses

If you’ve assumed health insurance is too expensive, it’s worth taking another look.

Many individuals and families qualify for premium tax credits that can significantly lower their monthly costs, and some qualify for $0 monthly premium plans based on income and eligibility.

Whether you’re:
• Self-employed
• Between jobs
• Losing employer coverage
• Retiring before Medicare
• A business owner looking for group health benefits

We’ll help you compare your options, determine whether you qualify for savings, and find coverage that fits your needs and budget.

There is no cost and no obligation to receive a quote or explore your options.

If you’d like to see what’s available reach out to this page.

Two years a group of men set out on an adventure by betting on themselves.

DGA Rockwell Seay, who had a five day old child, ADM Brett Summers and ADM Greg Martin with families of their own to provide for— started Colonial Appalachia with our underwriting partners Colonial Life and UNUM.

There was no guaranteed income. There was no guarantees at all. There was only the belief in ourselves and the men to each side of us.

By God’s grace, and a bunch of hard work, we’ve become a champion district in record time. One of Colonial Life’s fasting growing office doing millions in revenue.

And we did it in southern WV. We started working out of the back of a coffee shop— and since then we have an office, multiple agents, and have gone all of this country and to Ireland, Italy, and Croatia.

And best of all. We did it together.

Don’t ever tell us it can’t be done here. Because it can.
