About Buffer Insurance

The most meaningful impact we make
is in the lives of others.

We started Buffer because we believe every life is worth investing in and every future is worth protecting. That conviction shapes everything we do — who we hire, how we serve, and why we show up every day.

Our Story

We started with why.
It changed everything.

Sean Turner founded Buffer Insurance with a simple conviction: protecting people and ensuring their future impact is the highest calling in this business. What started as a mission became a movement — a team of advisors, agents, and operators who believe that how you do insurance matters just as much as what you sell.

At Buffer, We Start With Why

Our Founding

Built on service.
Guided by purpose.

Sean Turner founded Buffer Insurance with the vision that the most meaningful impact we make is in the lives of others. That vision was forged long before the agency existed — during his time serving as an infantryman and squad leader in the United States Army.

The values instilled through military service — excellence, teamwork, trust, and an unwavering commitment to the people beside you — became the foundation of everything Buffer stands for. We are a veteran-led, veteran-owned independent insurance agency, and we carry that identity with pride.

Today, Buffer serves individuals, families, and employers across the country with the same mission it started with: protect what matters most, make it simple, and show up with integrity every time.
