Brian Prater

Meet our Agency Principal, Brian Prater.

Brian believes insurance should feel like a conversation, not a transaction. Since 2002, he has dedicated his career to helping families and business owners protect what they’ve worked so hard to build. As the owner of Skees & Shipp Insurance, he focuses on replacing the overwhelm of insurance with clarity, confidence, and genuine support. As an independent agent, Brian doesn’t work for a large insurance corporation, he works for his clients. His independence allows him to shop the market, compare options, and find coverage that truly fits each individual’s needs. Clients can expect straightforward explanations, attentive listening, and guidance rooted in their best interests.

Brian knows insurance is personal, and he believes the service behind it should be too. He welcomes the opportunity to start a conversation about protecting your future.
