Billy Potter, a principal with Snellings Walters Insurance Agency in Atlanta, may have been destined to be a broker from an early age. Bill Snellings, an owner of the agency, coached the Pirates, the tee-ball team that Potter played on while growing up in suburban Dunwoody, Georgia.
"Bill told me that I would work for him someday," Potter says. "I was interested in the company back in 2003 or 2004, but it wasn't the right time then. I eventually joined the company near the end of 2011. It turned out to be providential on a lot of levels."
