At Curtis Helms Insurance, we have always prided ourselves on dependable quality customer service. This commitment was given to us by our founder, Curtis Helms Sr. From the inception of the company, Curtis dedicated himself to quality customer service and a value-driven commitment to clients and their needs. Curtis is a native to Charlotte NC. He grew up in the Piedmont Courts district of Charlotte. He served in the United States Air Force as an airplane mechanic from 1968-1972. Shortly after his military career he transitioned into civilian life as a life insurance salesman. He spent 30 years at the Jefferson Pilot Life Insurance Company. During these years he obtained many top producer president awards and continued to deepen his passion for helping clients insure their future through life planning. Helping teach his clients to “Sail with the pilot at the wheel”. In 1997, Curtis transitioned as an independent agent, offering personal and casualty insurance, and opened his own agency in 1999.
Chris is the youngest son of Curtis and manages much of the day-to-day operations here at our insurance agency. He graduated from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 2008 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration.
