Our story

Founded in 2022, DSMIG was initially a branding decision made by our Managing Principal, Dallas Downey. Since then, we've grown from simply a brand into a full service insurance brokerage with a main focus in forming insurance and risk management partnerships with our business owner clientele. We also provide guidance on home, auto, and life insurance, with deep passions for protecting classic car collections, boats, and motorcycles.
