ABOUT US

Our History

The Shaw Insurance Agency was established by the combining of (4) individual insurance agencies which date back to 1919 with the founding of the Howard L. Brown and Sons Agency. This agency originally specialized in personal property and casualty products and services. The Thomas Strok Insurance Agency, founded by Thomas Strok back in the mid 1940’s, was located in downtown Cleveland and specialized in the life and health markets. In 1958, this agency added personal and commercial lines property and casualty products. The Douglas Shaw Insurance Agency was established in 1993 with focus on specialty lines products and services.
