The Buckner Company
Ogden, UT
For Brett Nilsson, the most rewarding part of his insurance career of 35-plus years is “seeing American ingenuity at its best,” given all of the entrepreneurs emerging in the industry. Nilsson started out in insurance by writing policies for homeowners and small businesses, and has since grown his range of specialties to include manufacturing and construction. He has clients in multiple states and various countries, and makes the effort to develop long-term friendships with his customers.
Deeply involved within the industry and his community, Nilsson has served as the national chairman of the board of directors of the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America, on the board of directors of the World Federation of Insurance Intermediaries and has been part of various other committees within both state and national organizations.
