Shane Lynn
I graduated from Blue Ridge High School in 1985 and was signed to play football at Mars Hill College (University). Upon graduating with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Business Administration, I started what would lead to a 34-year (and continuing) career in the personal and commercial property and casualty insurance industry.
Throughout my career with Penn National Insurance Company and Selective Insurance Company, I served in many different roles ranging from desk claims adjuster to Officer of a multi-billion-dollar insurance company.
During my stint in Indianapolis, IN, I earned my Masters of Business Administration (MBA) from Anderson University in Anderson, Indiana. In addition to my MBA, I hold a CIC (Certified Insurance Counselor) designation and an AIC (Associates in Claims) designation.
After a six year stay in Columbus, OH, My business partner, Chris Crist, and I were presented with the opportunity to buy Owens Insurance Agency Inc. In December of 2008, My family and I moved back to my hometown of Greer, SC to become a local small business owner.
I am married to Amy Batchelor Lynn, also a Mars Hill Alumni, and have two wonderful children, Alleson Jean (AJ) and Zachary (Zack). AJ is a Clemson University alumni and high school math teacher at T.L. Hannah High School. Zack is a Tri County Technical College alumni and works for U.S. Paint Solutions. AJ is married to Zach Nunamacher and Zack is married to Savannah Lynn.
My family attends Freedom Fellowship Church in Taylors SC. I am a member of the Greer Centennial Lions Club and a past board member & Chairman of the Board at Greer Community Ministries. I am also a member of the Greer SC Chamber of Commerce and on their Board of Advisors. When I am not working, I enjoy hanging out with friends, camping with the family, hunting, fishing and all things Clemson Football.
"It has been an honor to spend the last half of my career protecting the assets of people and businesses in my hometown."
