🎉 Happy Birthday, John! 🎉
Today we’re celebrating one of our awesome team members here at Sumser Insurance Professionals!
John has been in the insurance industry since 1993, getting his start with GEICO, and we’ve been lucky to have him as part of the Sumser family for just over 3 years. His experience and dedication make a huge impact on our team and clients every day.
Outside the office, John has quite the story—he’s lived everywhere from Philadelphia and Pittsburgh to Ft. Bragg, Slippery Rock, Fredericksburg, and right here in Chester, VA. He’s been married to his wife, Karen, since 1999 (they met at GEICO!), and together they have a daughter, Samantha, who lives in Fredericksburg.
He’s also a proud pet parent to Castiel, his 9-year-old shepherd mix, and Xena Princess Warrior, his black-and-white cat with a big personality. 🐾
When he’s not working, you can find John lifting weights, reading, writing, cooking, or spending quality time with his family. And if you’re ever looking for a good recommendation—he loves the cocktails at Charred and everything on the menu at Q BBQ on Hull Street!
One of his most memorable birthdays? His 40th, when Karen surprised him with a fancy stainless steel grill—fully assembled and ready to go. Now that’s a great gift!
Join us in wishing John a very happy birthday and an amazing year ahead! 🎂🎈
