Member Spotlight: Bayle & Associates Insurance Company - Beavercreek, OH Bayle & Associates Insurance Company, located in Beavercreek, Ohio, was founded in September 2021 by owner and agent Kyle Bayle. Now entering his fifth year as an independent insurance agent, Kyle has successfully managed the agency as a one-man operation since day one. Since joining the insurance industry in February 2019, Kyle has built his career around people and their stories. He believes that everyone he meets brings a unique perspective, and the connections he’s made along the way are what give his work true meaning. Kyle specializes in Home, Auto, and Business Insurance, coverages that allow him to help clients protect the dreams they’ve worked hard to achieve, whether it’s buying a new home, purchasing a vehicle, or opening a business. “In a way, I’m living out my dream while helping others protect theirs,” he shares. Guided by the values his parents instilled, “It’s never wrong to do what’s right” mentality, Kyle prides himself on honesty above all else. He has even insisted prospects to stay with their current policies if it’s in their best interest, a practice that has earned lasting trust. Throughout the years, many have even returned after remembering Kyle’s integrity, giving him the opportunity to earn their business when their rates increased. Kyle recalls saving a commercial client nearly $10,000 annually, a moment that reinforced why he loves what he does. While not everyone seeks a dedicated agent, he finds motivation in serving those who value personalized guidance and care. Outside the office, Kyle enjoys golfing, fishing, hunting, traveling with his wife, and cheering on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Join us in celebrating Kyle and all that he and his agency has accomplished! We are proud to call him a member of The Insurance Connection.

Member Spotlight: TR Williams Insurance Agency - Findlay, Ohio Top Performer - 2023 20 Year Member - 2023 TR Williams Insurance Agency, located in Findlay, Ohio, was opened in late December 2004 by owner Tammy Williams. Tammy became a member of SIAA and The Insurance Connection shortly after, in 2005. While the agency is small, Tammy notes that its size allows for longer client appointments and gives her the flexibility to enjoy quality time outside the office. “Family comes first for me, and having a smaller agency makes it easier for my staff or me to take time off for family emergencies, to take parents to doctor appointments, or simply to attend my grandkids’ T-ball games,” Tammy says. Tammy has been in the insurance industry for 33 years, working at both State Farm and Nationwide before deciding to open TR Williams Insurance Agency. Helping clients truly understand their coverage and feel comfortable about where their money goes has made the career worthwhile for her. A client experience that still stands out to Tammy occurred in the mid-1990s, when she assisted a family overwhelmed by confusing health-insurance paperwork. She spent hours making calls and sorting through documents until everything was resolved, a routine task to her but a tremendous relief to them. Days later, the mother returned with a yellow rose dipped in gold, a gesture Tammy still treasures. That rose reminds her to remain patient and empathetic, knowing every client carries challenges beyond the conversation at hand. When she isn’t working, Tammy enjoys spending time with her family, especially her grandkids. With them living two hours away, every visit feels special and exciting. Tammy also enjoys shooting trap and sporting clays, and she and her husband even participate in a trap league! Tammy Williams has been a proud member of The Insurance Connection for 20 years, and we’ve had the pleasure of watching her agency grow and flourish. Join us in celebrating Tammy and TR Williams Insurance Agency!
