Don Winn has been active in the insurance business since 1982. While attending college in San Francisco, he worked for two insurance carriers--one, a division of Aetna Insurance Company placing hard to insure package programs; the other, a Workers' Compensation carrier. After graduating from Golden Gate University with his MBA in Risk Management and Insurance in late 1983, he returned to Hollister and joined Winn & Co. Insurance Brokers on January 1, 1984. Initially, he served as a producer on small to medium size accounts, and over the course of the next few years, he worked with larger and larger accounts. During the same period, he took on an increasingly active role in company operations while continuing to work with clients on their insurance and risk management programs.
In 1994, Don Winn purchased Winn & Co. Insurance Brokers from his father, John Winn, becoming the fourth generation of his family to own and operate the company. After the purchase in 1994, Don gradually took on all aspects of company management. Today, having delegated operational responsibilities.to an outstanding management team, he spends the majority of his time doing what he loves most--building relationships with clients. He also works with insurance carriers and is active in trade associations and continuing education programs.
