In October of 2017 HUB International acquired three main insurance agencies in the state of Alaska. The first agency was known as, Kenneth A. Murray Insurance, Inc. This agency was opened by Ken Murray in 1939. They specialized in many areas such as, commercial lines, personal lines, life and health, and more. The second agency is Baker and Associates, Inc. which was put into place by Larry Baker’s parents, Paul and Olga Baker in 1964. This agency specialized in property and casualty. The third agency acquired by HUB is known as Rural Alaska which was opened in 1987 by John Kohler Jr.’s father, John Kohler.
