Your AIC Team

Jerry Brockhaus, Founder and President
Jerry has over 30 years of experience in the insurance industry with over 27 years in aviation insurance.  In the late 70's he took a risk and left a large corporation to start his own agency with Farmer's Insurance Group.  Soon after growing a successful Farmer's agency, he started AIC, at first, to serve several of his Farmer clients who were pilots.  Since then, with the help of his amazing team of professionals, AIC has grown to serve thousands of clients and millions in premiums.  Jerry has also been a pilot since 1973 and is currently holding a commercial multi-engine instrument rating.  He is the proud owner of a Beech Bonanza and is a corporate pilot for a Pilatus PC-12.  He also volunteers his service to a number of aviation missionary ministries.

Jeff McClaran, Vice President - Sales and Operations
Jeff fell in love with anything to do with airplanes as a small child. He was constantly exposed to it since his mother, Sharon Tooley-Agee (below), and her husband were both in aviation insurance.  At the age of 15, he was presented with two choices, work at a local airport as a line boy or work at a Christian youth ranch as a ranch hand.  Jeff accepted the position at the youth ranch and set out on a course to become a minister. He met his wife on a missionary trip to Hong Kong.  Once returning to the states, with added responsibilities, he took a career in sales and worked with several Fortune 500 companies in sales management and marketing.  He never forgot about his love for airplanes and flying. In 2008 he decided to take the risk and leave the corporate giant and join AIC and fulfill the longtime dream of working in aviation.  Jeff is currently working on his pilot's license and hopes to someday rejoin the missionary field as a part-time missionary pilot.  He is completely dedicated to AIC's high level concierge-type service that they are dedicated to provide all their clients.

Sharon Tooley-Agee, Senior Insurance Specialist
Sharon has over 30 years of aviation insurance experience.  She began her career in the aviation insurance claims department and quickly became manager.  She then became an aviation broker, specializing in agricultural risks (Ag).  When the agency she was working for was sold to a Managing General Agent for an insurance company, she was quickly promoted to Underwriter.  She was a full lines aviation insurance Underwriter for approximately 17 years.  When they closed their Kansas City Regional office, she because their Territorial Underwriter for 7 States in the Midwest.  She finally quit after 2 years of being the Territorial Underwriter because the company was expecting her to travel 4 and 5 days a week.  She still had a small one at home so chose to quit and become an Agent.  She has now been an agent for the last 13 years.  She loves the challenge of being an Agent/Broker with her top priority being getting the best, most comprehensive coverage for each and every one of her clients.

In addition to the above team members, we have various insurance assistants and up-and-coming insurance specialists that bring a tremendous value in terms of support and integrity to our firm.
