Hello, I’m Jim Alton

We describe Jim as intelligent, ambitious, and imaginative. He is the man with all of the ideas. When the insurance industry felt stale, Jim saw an opportunity to build a platform that would give clients access to the services and talent they really needed to succeed. Jim graduated from Aquinas College with degrees in business and biology. He also attained certification for Managed Health Care from Harvard University. After gaining a wealth of knowledge and experience consulting employers of all sizes across the country, he joined ABG and set out to build his dream team. Jim has sought out talent from top agencies and procured a team of individuals with expertise in all aspects of employee benefits. Jim’s goal is to design investment-grade employee benefit strategies that focus on the following: attacking cost drivers, transforming information into applications, intelligent plan designs, wellness, communication and education, creative finance, and productivity. How’s that for a well-rounded strategy?
