Though I initially set my sights on playing baseball at Kennesaw State University, I decided to pivot and pursue a degree in Business Administration. That choice opened the door to a different kind of calling—one where I could still lead, still compete, and still serve, but in a way that helps people protect what matters most.
Today, I work with clients across 29 states, offering personalized health, dental, and vision insurance solutions. My focus is to dive deep with each client and provide coverage that makes sense for their specific needs and budget.
At Kirby Insurance, I don’t see my work as selling policies. I see it as building relationships. Whether you’re a young professional looking for your first plan, a growing family trying to stay protected, or a small business searching for group benefits, I approach each situation with care, strategy, and attention to detail. My job is to make this process simple and stress-free. That means answering your questions, explaining your options clearly, and making sure you feel confident in the decisions we make together.
What makes Kirby Insurance different is how personal this work is to me. I don’t outsource my clients. I don’t hand you off to a call center. When you choose to work with me, you get me—start to finish. I’m here to help you navigate the system, file claims, manage changes, and stay ahead of whatever life throws your way.
I believe the best service comes from truly listening. That’s what I aim to do every single day. Because at the end of the day, this isn’t just business to me. It’s personal. And if you’re looking for someone who will take the time to understand your story, respect your priorities, and have your back long after enrollment, I’d be proud to be that person.
I was born and raised in Canton, Georgia, the youngest of three brothers in a family that taught me the value of hard work, humility, and showing up for others. My parents, James and Laura Hardin, raised me with strong values and a deep sense of purpose that continues to guide the way I serve my clients. I graduated with honors from Creekview High School, where I also played on the Varsity Baseball team. That experience shaped a lot of who I am today. It taught me how to lead, how to think strategically, and how to stay grounded under pressure.
