Meet Peter Kenahan, our senior vice president and senior Commercial Lines broker. Peter has been an invaluable asset to the DeCotis team for the past twenty years. Today, he oversees new business production and manages agency relationships.
Two decades ago, Peter was navigating challenging life changes and needed an opportunity to earn more than a carrier underwriter could at Travelers, where he was working. Lucky for us, he found DeCotis. Peter's most significant professional achievement is successfully transitioning from a company underwriter to a wholesale broker. Another highlight from his long career was writing a +$1 million account for a municipality.
Peter enjoys gardening, walking his dog, and binge-watching TV shows outside the office. He also cherishes time with his granddaughter, playing pickleball, riding his motorcycle, and traveling. Something his coworkers would be surprised to learn about him is that he once ran 15 miles on a quarter-mile track (that's 60 laps!). This says a lot about how Peter can quickly navigate around Rhode Island and manage all his agents.
Thank you, Peter, for always going above and beyond for our commercial clients. Your dedication and hard work inspire us all!
