Steve Gannon

Principal Agent

steve@gannonagency.com
215-891-9990

Steve Gannon opened the Gannon Insurance Agency in August 2000. Opening the agency gave Steve the opportunity to use all his prior education and training to help the people in his community obtain the best insurance products available at the best price.

Steve is a graduate of St. Joseph’s University where he obtained his bachelor’s degree in finance and later his Masters in Business Administration.

Prior to opening his own agency, Steve worked for Prudential and Cigna as a Property and Casualty Claims Adjuster. He held the position of Registered Representative at New York Life Insurance where he sold life insurance and financial products. He also sold auto, homeowners and life insurance for Allstate. Steve has worked both ends of the insurance business–as a company man and currently as an advocate for his clients. That’s what makes the decision to buy from the Gannon Agency a great decision–you obtain access to years of training, experience and wisdom. Steve Gannon is truly an expert in his field!

“The best part of my job, besides providing our clients with the insurance coverage they need, is building a long-term relationship. Sure, people want the best price but most of them still want to know that their agent cares. Our clients are our family.

I really enjoy working with people and love what I do!”

Chad Gordon

Commercial Insurance Advisor

chad@gannonagency.com
215-891-9990

With a diverse background in sales, risk management and information technology (electronic record-keeping for hospitals), Chad has specialized in commercial insurance since 2015. In order to satisfy himself that he provides the best possible advice and service, Chad has acquired the Accredited Advisor in Insurance (AAI) Designation from the Insurance Institute of America.

In order for a business to purchase commercial insurance properly, a complete understanding of the risks is essential. Chad specializes in helping businesses assess those risks and purchase the proper insurance for optimal loss control. This is not always about the price or the Insurance Carrier—but the “best fit” for the company’s circumstances, history and current business profile.

Chad is meticulous in assessing risks and strives to educate clients about their insurance policies. Some say he’s more of a consultant than a Commercial Insurance Producer! In addition, Chad continues to work with clients well after the sale to be sure that as the business changes the insurance products are adaptable.

Chad likes working here in Bensalem where the Gordons reside. When not engrossed in client details, Chad enjoys rooting for all 4 Philadelphia sports teams along with his wife, their two children and Maddy their golden retriever!
