He is an employee benefits expert, thought leader and multi-year top producer in the sale of dental, vision, life and disability products.

Morton lives in Ellicott City, Md., and will cover Maryland and Delaware. He is married with two children and enjoys an active lifestyle, including golfing and a variety of other outdoor activities. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree with a concentration in business and finance from Frostburg State University.

Morton explains, "Renaissance has a very exciting entrepreneurial spirit, along with a special focus on delivering outstanding ancillary benefit products and personalized service to small- to mid-sized companies that aligns perfectly with my values and goals. The company's strong culture, nimble nature and dedication to customer service are foundational to the success of an employee benefits carrier."

Olsen to Cover Virginia and West Virginia

Specializing in dental, vision, life and disability products, Olsen has developed strong relationships with broker and consulting partners in the region and has enjoyed a successful career in the insurance industry.
