John Powter
  John Powter was raised in the North Texas area where he attended the University of North Texas. He graduated from UNT with a degree in Risk Management. Upon graduation, John accepted a position with Arthur J. Gallagher -- one of the top 10 insurance agencies in the world. While at Gallagher, John became their first agent ever to be selected to attend Chubb Insurance’s underwriting school. This involved an intensive study of insurance coverage of all types. Once completed, John was placed in Gallagher’s Alternative Risk Department – brainstorming solutions for large, difficult accounts. In 1993, John received the Domino’s franchisees’ portfolio to service. By 1994 he had opened his own agency, John Powter Insurance Agency Inc., specializing in insuring Domino’s franchises. He has since gained a reputation for providing superior premiums, coverage, and customer service to his 600+ Domino’s franchises. At this time, Powter Insurance, Inc. insures more Domino’s franchisees than any other agency in the U.S. John currently runs his office in Collin County, Texas, where he resides with his wife and partner, Dianne, and their two children.

  I was licensed in 1979, and have worked in the Independent Insurance Agency business for 36 years. The last 25 years have been in the commercial line area. The insurance business has made great strides during this time. I have worked for Powter Insurance Agency Inc. for two years. The part of the job I enjoy the most is getting to know my customers and talking to them, I feel I do a more efficient job when I know the insured. I was born into a military family in Gatesville Texas, and had the unique opportunity to see many parts of the world. Our family moved from Houston to Plano Texas, in 1999. I love grandchildren and dogs

Cody Boren
  Cody Boren joined the Powter sales team in January of 2005.  He has spent most of his formative years in Collin County pursuing work that focused on service.  The last 5 years of his career Cody devoted his time and efforts in helping business owners with their individual insurance plans specializing in non-qualified retirement plans.  Focusing on the business owners needs qualified him for the million dollar roundtable. Cody’s focus on customer service continues in his pledge to help his clients get more for their insurance dollar.  He has done this by providing options many agents don’t have access to.  Last week he demonstrated this by educating his client on little known provisions in their insurance plan saving the client 20% in premium. He lives with his family of 3 boys and beloved wife in Melissa TX where he volunteers as Captain in the Melissa Fire Department.
