Biography
Bill launched RJF in 1986 with the goal of creating an agency with a strong value proposition based on integrity and respect. He wanted to create a firm that would positively impact both its customers and employees. By positioning the company as a business advisor with expertise in organizational risk management, RJF has grown to represent more than 5,000 corporate clients. RJF now employs more than 160 professionals in five offices.
Bill devotes a large portion of his time to coaching the leadership within RJF and helping them achieve new levels of personal and professional success. He dedicates himself to promoting the RJF culture of values within all levels of the company. This leadership has produced exemplary results — RJF has been named the best medium-sized employer in Minnesota, has been one of the fastest growing private companies in Minnesota six times in nine years and is one of the “100 largest brokers of U.S. business,” and was awarded the 2009 Minnesota Business Ethics Award.
Bill’s passion for innovative ideas has earned him the position of chairman from 2007-2009 of the board of Assurex Global, the third largest risk management brokerage group in the world, with more than 20,000 professionals spanning the globe. Bill now serves as a board member of Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota.
In 2006, he was named Entrepreneur of the Year by TwinWest Chamber of Commerce, the most active chamber in Minnesota. Ernst & Young selected him as a finalist for their Entrepreneur of the Year award in 2007 and 2008.
