The PGM Management Team:
Continuity and Experience

Founded in 1981 by Jerry Tepper and Adam Christmann, PGM began in White Plains, NY as General Agencies were first emerging. Since that time, the firm has become one of the preeminent agencies in the Tri-State area and now has three central locations; in Westchester County, mid town Manhattan, and Long Island.

The PGM team is experienced and seasoned, with many having been associated with carriers, medical groups, insurance agencies or brokers prior to joining us. Our experience in all facets of the business allows us to quickly resolve problems and offer knowledgeable solutions.

Prior to General Agencies becoming prevalent, Jerry collaborated with major carriers such as CT General (Cigna) and Hartford to provide brokers with effective plan solutions, and in doing so, helped to introduce the General Agency concept to Westchester County. Prior to establishing his own business, Jerry had worked for CT General for 11 years.
