About RVAC Life & Retirement, LLC

Roanoke Valley Alleghany County Life and Retirement was born March 7, 2016. As a result of corporate downsizing, an all to common practice in business today. RVAC Life & Retirement was created by managing partners Timmy Hurst, Partners Durwin “Sonny” Waddell and Steve Hollins. An Independent Life Insurance and Retirement Planning Organization. Focusing on America’s broad middle market and main street small business. At our core RVAC is built around a career distribution-like mindset. With a customer focus on “Living Benefits” Life Insurance you don’t have to die to use. As well as the #1 concern for those approaching retirement. Will my retirement savings last?

I started my insurance career back in 1992. I currently hold licenses in West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia, & North Carolina. Prior to the insurance career I served four years in the United States Marine Corps. I have been blessed to work with a lot of great people over the years. Some of my accomplishments are, I have earned my LUTCF designation, completed a course called AMTC, which stands for Agency Management Training Council, as well as completing some CLU courses. During my career I have qualifier for many sales leader conferences. I have also held several leadership positions in my career.Including being a General Manager for a former employer. I owe my success in the business to the following approach, I believe this business is a RELATIONSHIP building business instead of a insurance sales business. Because without the relationship you never establish trust. For someone reading this that may not know me, and needs my assistance, I would be honored to call you a friend as well as a client. Thanks you!!!
