I grew up in a small town where childhood acquaintances became lifelong friends. After graduating from college with a BA degree in accounting, I worked ten years in a Certified Public Accounting firm. My work experience in those years included income tax preparation, bookkeeping, auditing and financial planning. In January 1990, I left the firm and opened John Perry Insurance Agency in Clewiston, Florida. I started with no employees and two empty filing cabinets and today have grown to four office locations in Clewiston, Fort Myers, LaBelle and Okeechobee.
