GWALTNEY & ASSOCIATES, INC. Personal. Professional. Period.   What Clients and Agency Affiliates have to say...  A word from Dave Gwaltney -- about these responses: I am grateful. I made one query for endorsements for advertisement purposes. I solicited every client in my Contact book with whom I have usual e-mail correspondence and I received more than a 90% return response (a little better than the 2% average for direct mail). Now, when I have a bad day, I read this web page and find a renewed personal desire to improve, to continue, and to encourage my staff to provide service so that no one asks me to remove a single comment. Thanks to everyone that sent a note. "We purchase a variety of insurance for work in the US and overseas. Gwaltney & Associates ranks among the best as a professional operation, meeting our demanding requirements with consistent and reliable customer service." -- DHV International, Inc., Clifford Enger, Vice President and CFO "I've been doing business with Dave for 15 years. I liked him better with hair." -- 15-year commercial client, requested anonymous   "I have been doing business with Dave Gwaltney since 1995. He is a breath of fresh air to the small business community. He has helped us tremendously and fairly with all of our never ending insurance needs." -- Sincerely, Dane Wagner, President, Leading Edge Exhaust Systems, LLC   "Dave's priority is getting the client the best coverage at the best premium... not maximizing commission. While this strategy might seem laughable to most in his profession, I'm quite sure it accounts for his loyal client base and high renewal rate." -- Justin Ripley, President, Alaska Web Dynamics, LLC   "Thanks for the "complete" new business submissions! This ever-changing industry is a better place for entrepreneurs like Gwaltney!" -- Underwriter, Carrier relationship since 1990   "Dave is absolutely wonderful and amazing! We spent three years trying to find an agent that could assist us with our insurance needs since our services are unique in Alaska and no other insurance company would even spend the time providing a quote. I highly recommend him to anyone that needs insurance." -- Toni Walker, President, Logistics, LLC   "Buying insurance from Dave sucks, but buying insurance from anyone sucks. It just sucks less buying it from Dave. Plus Dave has a CPA right across the hall." -- Promised more to come, Gus Gillespie, Principal, Alaska Fur Exchange   "Dave, if every agent was as honest as you, everyone's premiums would be lower." -- Underwriter, major carrier representation, since 1989   "Running a small business takes up the majority of my time so my ability to keep track of changes in insurance legislation and track down the best insurance rates is literally impossible. To work with a company like Gwaltney & Associates that I can trust to keep me updated on insurance changes that affect my business and make sure I get the best rates possible is invaluable. Thanks Gwaltney & Associates for taking care of my insurance needs and allowing me to focus on running my business." -- Vicki Malone, President, Alaska Tour & Travel/The Park Connection Motorcoach   "I refuse to admit how long I have known David Gwaltney and people look at me funny when I say how great it is to have an insurance rep. you can trust. Then I have to explain that you might be able to pull something over on me but a man's dog knows all, and I really like Dave's dog!!" -- Susan Wagnon DVM, Owner, Ravenwood Veterinary Clinic   "If I owned a business, you (Dave) would be my broker." -- Insurance Company Underwriter, 12 year relationship*   “In our one year relationship with Dave he has brought a pleasant new meaning (and facial expression) to the term ‘insurance guy’. Dave took the time to familiarize himself with our organization, location, and insurance needs. This personal touch is especially appreciated as we are located over 230 miles from his offices.” -- Eli Kramer, Denali Foundation   "I have known Dave since my wife and I moved to Alaska, some 7 years ago. I was feeling somewhat uncomfortable about the level and coverage of my (personal) insurance policies, and asked Dave for his recommendations. His review was very thorough, and provided a more comprehensive approach to all of my insurance needs based on risk assessment, income, assets, net worth, health, age and lifestyle...priceless! I truly value his friendship, and his expertise." -- Ed Iwata, Consulting Client   "Referred to Dave through another company. This company has far exceeded our expectations and Dave has been there every time we needed him for consultation and our "Got to have it now" insurance needs. He met our challenge with 5 stars for our tour company. Dave feels like he is one of the family. Highly recommend Gwaltney and Associates." -- Gordon and Lorraine Cook, Cree-ation Tours   "Mr. Gwaltney continues to refer to me as High Maintenance (in the personal sense), and therefore, I canceled my insurance." -- Continuing client since 1999   "We decided to take the risk and choose Dave as our new commercial insurance broker, which was a leap of faith, and we haven’t been disappointed. We have the very definite feeling that Dave has the best interests of our company at heart, and we feel very comfortable requesting his astute business advise." -- Serena O'Donnell, President, Willodell Enterprises, Inc.   "I have had occasion to work with Dave Gwaltney on a major volunteer event in Alaska for four consecutive years. The event involves about one-hundred volunteers. Dave Gwaltney stands head and shoulders above the crowd with his hard work and dedication to the event. He is utterly reliable and a man of integrity. It is my pleasure to know and work with Dave Gwaltney." -- Donald Smith, Director, Alaska Railroad   "Dave has simply been a pleasure to work with! His prompt, attentive and thorough service continues to be a pleasant surprise in this frustrating (for the consumer) and expensive industry. I know Dave's working hard searching the markets to find us the best coverage and the best rates. When we moved over to Gwalteny Associates in 2003, we were welcomed with superior service, better coverage and a 15% savings on our insurance premiums. Thanks Dave." -- Dan Oberlatz, Cofounder, Senior Guide, Alaska Alpine Adventures, LLC           * Due to the competitive nature of carrier representations and in respect of their other obligations, identities of "industry" professionals are held confidential.
