JERRY HORNER JR. Fisher Brown Bottrell Insurance Ridgeland, MS
Raised in the oil boomtown of Odessa, Texas, Ryan Edgmon has spent his entire life around the oil & gas industry, paving the way for his career today. Originally set on becoming an airline pilot, Edgmon switched paths and went to work at his family’s insurance agency. After the agency merged with Higginbotham, Edgmon became the youngest managing director in Higginbotham’s history at the age of 27. His first initiative was to develop a team that specializes in oil & gas insurance. Thanks to Edgmon’s efforts, Higginbotham’s energy division is now well recognized within the sector. “We support our clients by understanding their insurance needs and being there after placing the insurance coverage,” Edgmon says. “It’s what we call Day Two Services, because we deliver everything they need to limit their risks, manage their plans and control their costs throughout the term of their insurance policies.”
Now an executive vice president and construction team leader at Fisher Brown Bottrell, Jerry Horner Jr. began his insurance career at the agency in 1986. Horner primarily focuses his business on construction insurance and surety. Outside of Fisher Brown Bottrell, Horner is a past vice president and trustee for Canton Academy, has served on the board of directors for Clifton Plantation and the Mississippi Road Builders Association, and is a member of the Insurance Company Leadership Council, Associated General Contractors Association, Associated Builders and Contractors, American Subcontractors Association, Mississippi Road Builders Association, and Mississippi Asphalt Pavers Association.
