This well-earned advancement reflects Sully’s unwavering commitment to the agency’s growth, his deep-rooted passion for the insurance industry, and his dedication to serving the community.

For Sully, this promotion is more than just a title, it’s the realization of a lifelong dream. Unlike most individuals, who often shift career aspirations as they grow older, Sully knew from a young age that he wanted to be an insurance advisor. Sully was reminded of that moment when a former classmate’s parent recognized him and asked about his career. With great pride, Sully was able to say that he had indeed fulfilled his childhood aspiration.

“Not many people get to say they became exactly what they dreamed of as a child, but I’m fortunate to be one of them,” said Sully. “I always looked up to my dad and wanted to follow in his footsteps. Now, as Vice President of Gerety Insurance, I am honored to continue our legacy and help grow the agency while maintaining the values that have earned us the trust of our clients.”

Over the past five years, Sully has been instrumental in improving the agency’s operations by implementing new standards, streamlining workflows, and updating programs to enhance efficiency. His leadership has led to more seamless processes, ensuring both employees and clients benefit from a more organized and effective approach to service. His prior experience at JP Morgan’s Private Bank further honed his financial expertise, which has been invaluable in modernizing and optimizing the agency’s internal operations.
Gerety Insurance has been a pillar of the Harford County community, recently earning the esteemed title of Best of Harford 2024. With over 400 five-star reviews, the agency is recognized for its customer-first approach and unwavering commitment to excellence.

“We are incredibly proud of Sully and excited to see how he continues to lead the agency into the future,” said Rick Gerety, President of Gerety Insurance. “His dedication, industry expertise, and passion for serving our clients make him the perfect fit for this leadership role.”

As Sully steps into his new role, he remains committed to strengthening client relationships, streamlining operations, and implementing innovative strategies to ensure Gerety Insurance continues to deliver exceptional service for years to come.
