Jeff Sutton - Vice President, Underwriter, and New Claims

Jeff started flying as a senior in high school and obtained his Private Pilot License when he was eighteen. After spending two years as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Santiago, Chile, he attended Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (E-RAU) where he obtained a Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical Science. He holds a Commercial Pilot Certificate with Airplane Single and Multi-Engine Land Ratings, as well as an Instrument Rating.

Upon graduating from E-RAU, Jeff joined AVEMCO Insurance Company as a sales/underwriter in Frederick, Maryland. AVEMCO later transferred him to Seattle, where he spent most of his time with them and learned to underwrite Alaska and other risks. Jeff went back to school and studied law at Seattle University where he obtained his Juris Doctorate. When AVEMCO closed its field offices, Jeff joined Falcon Insurance Agency and opened the Northwest Branch for them. Jeff placed a major portion of his Falcon insureds with LAU.

When the opportunity arose to join LAU, Jeff jumped at it. Since joining LAU, Jeff has been underwriting and helping out with claims.

Outside of LAU, Jeff enjoys spending time with his wife Andrea and their three children - Jeff, Jr., Natalie, and Linda. Among the things he enjoys to do are reading, watching movies, and exercising. He volunteers time on the weekends and in the evening to work with local scouts. As a youth, Jeff earned the rank of Eagle Scout and still enjoys camping and being in the outdoors, which is why he is happy here in the Great Pacific Northwest.
