Hey there, I'm

Holden

No logo. No pitch. Just me.

A little about who I am, what I love, the work I do, and how to get in touch.

that's me!
the real story

I'm Georgia born and raised, and I've never had much desire to call anywhere else home. I like the people, the slower pace, and being almost the perfect distance from both the beach and the mountains.

I'm a pretty simple person when it comes to what matters to me. Do what you say you're going to do. Treat people right. Be there when someone needs you. I also like to think that good people tend to find other good people in life, and I've been pretty fortunate in that regard.

Insurance happens to be what I do for a living, and I take a lot of pride in being good at it. But I never want it to be the most interesting thing about me.

I'd much rather be someone you'd sit down and grab a coffee with than just another insurance guy trying to sell you something.

the good stuff

Things I love.

The stuff that fills up my time outside of work.

Life on the lake

Gainesville put me right on the water, and that's exactly where I want to be. A lot of my favorite evenings end with dinner on the lake and nowhere I need to be.

Me & Kenzie

My better half, and the one who keeps me honest. Most of my best ordinary days have her somewhere in them.

Long miles on the trail

Long-distance running is my reset button. Give me a quiet trail and a few miles and most of life's problems get smaller. It's usually how my mornings start.

stay in touch

Find me around the web.

Come say hey — I actually reply.

Question, hello, or something in between — it all comes straight to me, and I get back to just about everyone the same day.
