Lewis Agency aka Lewis Insurance Agency

The Lewis Agency was founded in 1972 by Calvin J. Lewis. An entrepreneur at heart with a drive to be successful, he and his wife Bev devoted all their spare time to the agency. To make ends meet Calvin held a second job. From early morning to late afternoon he worked as a laborer at the local fire brick plant. When his shift was over, a quick drive home, in and out of the shower, out the door by 4:30 pm with sandwich in hand transformed from laborer to business man. Eventually, able to commit full time to insurance, the agency would grow to include customers throughout the entire Southeastern Ohio region.

Over the years Calvin would represent some of the top insurance companies. Which included; Motorist Mutual, Western Reserve Mutual, Progressive, Auto Owners, Safeco, Dairyland, Wayne Mutual Insurance Group, Celina, Allstate, Grinnell Mutual, Sandy and Beaver Farm Mutual, the Ohio Fair Plan, as well as many other life and health insurance companies.

As the agency continued to grow so did the need for a partner. In 1998 Calvin brought on board a young man that he had not only known since he was a young boy but also one of his long-time insured’s. David Phillips, who worked in marketing for USA Life and Central Benefits Blue Cross and Blue Shield was now a new member of the agency family.

Through combined efforts the agency continued to grow in volume as well as expand into more of the state of Ohio. After twenty years of partnership the partners entertained the idea of selling the agency which they eventually did. On January 1, 2013 Lewis Agency was under new ownership. Stephen Pritchett Jr. CEO of Southern Ohio Risk Management and the principle agent of Jones-Stephenson Insurance of Jackson took over as owner. Today the agency continues to grow under the leadership of Steve Pritchett who actively works with the current staff to assure that Calvin’s and Bev's dream and hard work continues to have its rightful place in the market place.
