Your Back Office; Our Team

Kenneth Sapon,

President, CLU, CLTC, LUTCF, R.Ph. 

I joined my father at Champion Agency in 1979. It fascinated me how little agents knew about the products they sold. This inspired me to bring more transparency to the industry. For over 45 years, I’ve dedicated myself to educating agents about how products work, so they can find the best tax reduction strategies for their clients.

Samuel Sapon,

Director New Agent Recuitment

I have long been fascinated by finding unconventional solutions to everyday problems. I seek opportunities to question the status quo. This has started me on the path to a fulfilling career. It’s been seven short years since I graduated from college, but have been a part of many thrilling projects that have altered people’s lives for the better. These projects have challenged me to develop the link between theory and execution. I have help start coffee shops and launched million-dollar revenue streams for companies. Champion Agency is the next chapter in my journey of developing robust client focus platforms. I am looking forward to discovering and developing new solutions that will not only make your life as an agent easier, but will also increase your client’s satisfaction.
