David J Teed, Cic Email & Phone Number

I have enjoyed 25 years in the insurance business, with the last 15 as a certified insurance counselor "CIC", helping businesses find risk management solutions. I recently created a program called Live Asset Insurance. Live Asset Insurance, was developed while I was with The JLS Group, Inc in 2007 while looking for ways to help BDO CPA's help their clients quantify, value and insure a new class of assets, I saw the need for an insurance program for plant material. The market had no viable private insurance for trees, shrubs, grapevines, flowers and other valuable landscape items. The IRS had ruled that landscaping could be an "asset" so I found a company that would quantify, and value plant material and an insurance company to provide coverage. After developing the business and launching it as Live Asset Insurance the JLS closed its doors after 100 years in business. I moved my program to Tanenbaum Harber Inc and quickly realized it was not a good fit. I then moved the program to Marshall & Sterling, a 145 year old leading independent agency with a strong national program division, in early August 2009. We insure trees, shrubs, grapevines, annuals and perrenials against adverse weather events in 19 states. We provide " one of a kind" protection against Mother Nature's wrath. Our exclusive program allows brokers and agents to sell our policy to the public, or they can come to us directly at www.liveassetinsurance.com.Specialties: Exclusive private insurance for trees, shrubs, grapevines and other living plant material from death and destruction due to various named perils.
