Two old friends, one stubborn idea, and a fifteen year run at fixing event insurance for good.

By 2012, Bryan's role at Helios had run its course. He was bought out and went back into consulting. David stayed and kept building.

Then Helios collapsed. The parent company was gone. The infrastructure was gone. Most brokers would have walked away.

In 2016, David did the opposite. He took total ownership of Direct Event Insurance and kept the lights on by himself. For the next decade he ran the agency the only way he knew how. He answered the phone. He showed up. He kept his word. He served his customers one Friday night at a time.

It worked. The book grew. Customers stayed for ten years and brought their friends. But it never scaled past what one person could carry, and one person was carrying all of it.

David needed help. He just did not know what kind yet.

Bryan had spent the fifteen years between in transformation work. Big Four. Financial services, manufacturing, professional services. Engagements across the Americas, with a long stretch out of Mexico. His last corporate seat was inside the Business Transformation Office at Link Consulting until that group was eliminated in early 2026.

In parallel, he had gone deep on the question of pairing humans with modern automation so that one person could do the work of a team. He built a framework for it. He founded a productivity consultancy around it. He could see, before most people, exactly what AI was about to do to the operating side of small business.

In May 2026, Bryan called David and asked if he could come look at the books for a couple of days. He came to Frisco. He looked at the books. He stayed on David's couch the next week and built the operating plan.

What he saw was simple. The work David had been doing by hand for years, the patient phone calls, the policy explanations, the COI chases, the late-night problem solving, was exactly the work that AI was finally ready to do at scale. The handshake could stay. The phone call could still happen. The Friday night could end. But the broken machinery underneath the agency could be rebuilt from scratch.

So we are rebuilding it. Right now. Today.

The Vendor Liability Program is the product we are best known for. We built it for event organizers running trade shows, expos, conventions, bridal shows, and similar events with multiple low-risk booth vendors. One link, sent from the organizer to every vendor at the event, enrolls each vendor in their own general liability coverage. Coverage starts as low as around $100 per vendor, depending on the number of vendors participating, event location, event type, and underwriting details. Certificates route back to the organizer automatically with the venue pre-named as additional insured.

Standard limits are $1M per occurrence with a $2M shared group aggregate, and any need for additional group-wide capacity is reviewed during program setup.

The result for the organizer is the elimination of the certificate-chase workflow that used to eat hours every event. The result for the vendor is the cheapest path to A rated coverage they will find, with no application back-and-forth.

The program is designed for low-risk vendor categories. It is not for food vendors, beverage vendors, or any category with elevated exposure. Those vendors need a different product, which we also place.

If you are an event organizer who is tired of the Friday night, we should talk.

If you are a vendor who needs real coverage without the runaround, we should talk.

If you are a venue, a producer, a fair board, or an association looking for a broker who actually picks up the phone, we should talk.

We are easy to reach. We answer fast. We will not waste your time.
