In 1936, Mr. Jim V. Hood opened the doors to Hood Insurance Agency. Lawrenceville was a small town, with few insurance options. In 1941 Mr. Hood joined forces with J.H. McGee and formed Hood and McGee. They operated under that name until 1962 when Allen Hood joined his father in the business. Together they forged a name that is synonymous with quality service and integrity.

In 1969, Allen hired a strapping young lad named Pete Martin. He had no insurance experience and really no interest, until he found out that Allen would pay him more money than he was making at Sherwin Williams at the time. Allen and Pete worked to continue the good reputation that Hood Insurance had. After many profitable years together Allen decided to retire and in 1991 passed the torch to Pete. In the following years he hired his nephew, Jason Powell, his son P.K. Martin IV, and his daughter, Anna Martin, as producers, in order to continue the tradition of good service, and to leverage Hood Insurance Agency to make the transition to a 21st century company.

However, Pete has worked tirelessly to continue the relationships he has with his clients and companies, and while we make use of technology, we promise to always make the clients needs number one. We value our relationships as much as our business, and we believe that dedication to our clients will produce longstanding partnerships which are beneficial to both our clients and ourselves.
