MIKE BAILEY

Principal – Knoxville, TN

Bailey Insurance Service began February 1, 1994 in the basement of Mike Bailey’s home. He started his independent agency with one phone, one computer, and one empty four-drawer file cabinet. Previously, Mike had ten years of success with a multi-line captive company, and had plenty of relationships on which to build his quality organization.

Mike is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and former three year veteran book salesman for the Southwestern Company. Married to wife Kim of 20 years, they have three daughters: Katie, McKenzie, and Caroline.

Mike Bailey has over 25 years of experience and knowledge as an insurance agent. He contributes his time and resources to superb organizations such as, the Dream Connection, Reach Them 2 Teach Them, the Ed Bailey Foundation, and the Rotary Club of West Knoxville. He is an active member of First Baptist Church of Concord, and Partners in Christ.

Mike supports our men and women in uniform around the world.

By taking care of all of your insurance needs, our customers will know they are protected, and can rest easy knowing their possessions and loved-ones are covered with Bailey Insurance Service. It would be our absolute pleasure to serve you and we hope we get the chance to do so.

God Bless!
Mike Bailey
