Grant Connor Mehlich

Founder

Grant Connor Mehlich has always cared about protecting people around him and has been in the business of it for most of his life. After graduating from Florida State University with a degree in Economics and a minor in Business, Grant moved north to New York and New Jersey, where he began his insurance career.

In 2003, Grant worked as a Retrospective Adjuster for American International Group (AIG) where he learned how to adjust Loss Sensitive, Paid Loss, and Large Deductible Plans for Fortune 100 Companies in big cities. 

After a year of learning and experiencing core insurance fundamentals, Grant was promoted. He spearheaded and implemented a brand new program for AIG called “Global Energy Middle Market (GEMM) Plus,” designed for Manufacturing and Process Industry businesses with up to $100M in revenues. GEMM Plus exceeded and surpassed all expectations, underwriting over $20M in new business premiums after one year. 

After the success of GEMM Plus, Grant returned to his home state of Florida and began his Insurance Brokerage career with Hilb Rogal & Hobbs (HRH), the 7th largest insurance brokerage in the world at the time. Utilizing his underwriting knowledge, passion, and dedication to his clients, Grant brokered over $1.97M in premiums within his first year, earning him the southeast regional new business award. By the time Grant left to start GCM Insurance & Risk Management, LLC in August of 2009, he was responsible for insuring over $200MM in property values throughout the State of Florida.

Grant has been interviewed twice in a nationally published business magazine. He is a Ybor City Development Corporation committee member because community leadership is important to him. Tampa is Grant’s home, and he remains committed to serving the great state of Florida.

Account Manager

I have never met or even heard of anyone in insurance that does as much for his clients as Grant and GCM! I have never had an insurance agent that did anything but sign me up for a policy or a renewal, but Grant and GCM are completely different. GCM is all about the very best customer service from the very beginning and all the way along. Have you ever heard of an insurance agent that would leave a family gathering on Christmas Eve and drive several hours to his client to make sure a claim gets handled correctly for his client, well I have, and that is what you get at GCM. I couldn't recommend it more highly!!

I was nervous about leaving my agent of 9 years, but instantly I saw how dedicated, and passionate GCM is with their clients. In less than a week, I knew I made the right decision. Whenever I have a problem, they always have the right answer. I am a Real Estate Developer with over $57M in insurable values. Trust me, these guys know what they are doing and go above and beyond to take care of you.

I've worked with GCM the last year on various coverage issues, including independently acquiring coverage, appealing denials, and began the workings of getting approved in Florida. Suppose you're lucky enough to have GCM work with you. Highly recommend!
