Jeff Turner founded Bridge Insurance Partners in the winter of 2007 to deliver a unique, efficient service model to the marketplace, designed to meet advancing business insurance needs. Over a period of eleven years and overseen by a team of experienced advisors, he developed the Bridge model that today expands upon an already sizable industry portfolio. This model introduces a distinct service offering to the middle market business sectors where he has expertise. Those areas include all phases of real estate ownership and development, private equity groups, healthcare, and manufacturing. Turner's partners and team of field experts specialize in developing and implementing property and casualty programs to middle market firms, insurance planning for directors and officers, and developing professional liability strategies and other casualty coverage for companies and organizations.

Mr. Turner is committed to building Bridge on the concept of mutually beneficial relationships, and as such, transaction import is based upon value rather than account size. The systemized approach to serving his companies insures continuous connection which allows for a much deeper understanding of the needs of companies and the areas that are valued by firm leadership and owners.

Prior to starting Bridge Insurance Partners, Mr. Turner served as a managing director for Higginbotham and Associates following his time at a local agency in Dallas. Before entering the insurance industry, he held positions in accounting and commercial banking, and developed brokerage and risk management solutions for the healthcare and real estate industries.

Mr. Turner serves on the board of the Independent Insurance Agents of Dallas and was named committee chairperson of the year with IIAT for the formation and leadership of the Young Agents Committee of Texas. He is an active member of the Association for Corporate Growth, participated in the 2008 Leader Board for the Center for Christian Leadership, and serves on the board of the Prestonwood Pregnancy Center of Dallas.

A native of Dallas, Mr. Turner attended Baylor University where he received his BBA in Accounting. His personal interests include spending time with his family, running, and teaching a Bible class at Park Cities Baptist Church of Dallas. Jeff and his wife, Ashley, have three children.
