Ryan was born and raised right here in Northeast Florida. After attending Darton State College(now Albany State University) on a soccer scholarship, he made is way back to Florida to start his career. He went to work for the largest captive insurance company in the country and joined their agent program with the goal of opening his own office.

In 2015 the Locke Insurance Group was founded with one goal in mind: Providing Grade A Customer Service to Every Client. Being able to write with multiple carriers while having the customer’s best interest in mind is how insurance should be. Ryan considers it an honor to be able to serve the community in which he grew up. For Ryan, the start of a policy is just the beginning or a lifelong relationship.

Ryan has a passion for expanding his knowledge to better assist his clients and is currently working on getting his CIC( Certified Insurance Counselor) designation.

Ryan has been married to his wife Kelsey for five years and together have two beautiful daughters, Lilly and Caroline. When not working, he’s spending time with his family at the pool, playgrounds and just enjoying family time. Ryan is also known to be at the soccer field on Sunday playing in adult leagues.
