History from 1935 to 2007
72 Years of Experience
Founder Harlan "Scoop" Johnson, first opened the doors of Nevada Agency Company with assets totaling one chair and one desk, N.I.A.C. insured its first customer just a few hours later.
By January of 1937, the Nevada Insurance Agency Company was insuring three of the 4 state's largest contractors. In less than two years, N.I.A.C. had earned a well-deserved position among Nevada's most respected insurance agencies.
Clayton D. Phillips, a former Reno Chief of Police, joined Johnson in 1948. Over the years, the two partners continued to expand, insuring businesses and homes throughout the state.
During that time, Johnson and Phillips received numerous offers to merge with larger, out-of-state companies. Each of those offers was refused.
