Tim L. Thompson, CLTC

CEO / Agency Principal

Tim Thompson established Lincoln Insurance Group in 2006 following his passion to serve others.  Prior to starting Lincoln, he worked 17 years in the real estate industry.  During that time he helped thousands of clients obtain the American Dream of home ownership.  Starting an insurance agency fit hand in glove with Tim’s pursuit of helping others.  “I realized early on that once a clients dream was a reality they needed a partner to protect their investment.”   In that, was born, the idea of helping others through providing insurance options in order to protect their assets.  Tim chose the independent business model so he could offer clients the broadest range of insurance options and choices available in the market place.   We are constantly looking for additional carriers to partner with who will bring value to both our clients and to the agency.  Our motto is to “give us an opportunity to earn your business today and experience the Lincoln difference.”
