Rick Smith is the transportation team leader and production underwriter at Jencap, formerly branded as Russell Bond. He is a true transportation specialist and always has his finger on the pulse of the industry. Over the last 17 years, he has built deep-rooted, trusted, and valuable relationships with both his carrier and agency partners.
Rick was hired at Russell Bond in 2005 as a service coordinator for property and casualty (P&C) and worked his way up through the ranks to exclusively write P&C new business. After 10 years of dominating the P&C space, he transitioned to the transportation group as a production broker/underwriter. He was promoted to transportation team leader three years ago and has been exceeding expectations for the company at every turn. Russell Bond became a Jencap company in October 2021 and recently rebranded to Jencap.
He holds an Associate in General Insurance designation from The Institutes. Now with four children,
two dogs, and most importantly, a loving and supportive wife, he is excited about what the next 20 years will bring.
