Life Stories: Gib Surles

“The first life insurance death claim I delivered was to my mom, for a policy I wrote on my dad’s life.”

Nautilus Member Agent Gib Surles began his career in the life insurance industry at 24 years of age. The very first death claim he delivered was a life insurance policy on his father’s life, payable to his mother.

That personal experience of witnessing the magic of financial security from a life insurance instrument affected him throughout his entire career. He knows there is nothing more humbling than being able to walk in the door after a tragic situation with money for the heirs.

Watch this video (3:25) to hear Gib describe that experience and see why Gib considers his career in the life insurance industry his nobility of purpose.
