Oakbridge Insurance Agency LLC (Oakbridge) is pleased to announce insurance professional and LaGrange, Georgia native John Fuller has joined the company as vice president.

He brings a unique understanding of the region and an enviable network of contacts to Oakbridge. He has an extensive background in digital marketing and worked for 15 years in sales for several local industrial companies.

“Having John on board allows us to strengthen an already strong market position in West Central Georgia and will open doors in East Alabama,” said Michael Dollar, Oakbridge’s Chief Operating Officer. “John is one of the most well-connected insurance professionals in the state. LaGrange is our hometown and his focus on serving our neighbors aligns perfectly with our business goals and mission.”

“I am beyond excited to be joining the Oakbridge team.

I’ve always been deeply committed to my community and having this opportunity to set a course for Oakbridge in LaGrange and throughout the state is a dream come true,” Fuller adds.
