We’re terrible salespeople, but great advisors.
Our firm is trained to evaluate property and liability risk for financially successful individuals and then advise them on selecting the best personal risk solution to meet their needs. Prior to working with us, most of our clients still bought insurance the same way that had prior to becoming successful. They were using the standard marketplace made up of all the popular insurance companies with funny TV ads. They relied on the advice of a friend that “sold” insurance or somebody they saw on a local billboard. Even worse, some were buying insurance online without any guidance.
Our focus is on educating clients about “high net worth insurance” and its superior advantages. We counsel clients on better understanding their risk and how to avoid devasting losses. We then advise and negotiate on their behalf, the best policy options with the 5 “blue chip” insurance companies that specialize in the high-net-worth niche. We communicate throughout the year and in the event, a claim does occur, we advocate for them through the process and until its resolution.

– Meet Ryan
Ryan McKinney;
CIC, CPRM, CPRIA, CWCC, CPIA, AFIS
President
Ryan is the president of McKinney-Green Insurance, LLC. He entered the insurance industry over 20 years ago working for two of the largest brokers in the country, where his primary focus was on complex commercial accounts with premiums well over $100,000.
After discovering that many of his successful commercial clients did not have the same level of sophistication and expertise applied to their personal insurance coverage, he developed a long-term plan to shift his focus. He began deepening his knowledge by studying applicable coverage and solutions for affluent families before partnering with John M. Green Insurance.
Ryan has attained his Certified Insurance Counselors (CIC), Certified Personal Risk Manager (CPRM), Chartered Private Risk and Insurance Advisor (CPRIA), Certified Workers Compensation Counselor (CWCC), Certified Professional Insurance Agent (CPIA), and Agribusiness & Farm Insurance Specialist (AFIS) designations. He will soon graduate from the Advance CPRIA program as 1 of 12 insurance professionals chosen from across the country to complete a 2-year study & research project.
He is actively involved with the Tennessee chapter of the Professional Insurance Agents (PIA) serving on its executive board, Insurors of Tennessee, and serving on the DFA Board for the Heritage Foundation of Williamson County.
Ryan lives in Franklin, TN with his wife Genevieve and their two children. They are active members of Brentwood Baptist Church where Ryan serves as a deacon. A competitor at heart, at a time in life before kids and being a business owner, he raced an Ironman (10:15) and was an avid off-road motorcycle racer.
