About Us

Jason started in the insurance business with a life insurance agency in Charlotte two weeks after graduating from Appalachian State with a degree in Finance. He excelled at employee benefits and quickly grew a block of business the old fashioned way – knocking on doors and dialing for dollars. After three and a half years, he took a job with a national general agency and moved to Charleston, SC to run its office there. Seventeen years later, he left the agency to form United Producers Group.

Jason is married to his wonderful (and very understanding) wife Kristen, and they have two children, Byers and Georgia Grace. In his spare time, Jason enjoys being on the water, coaching his kids’ sports teams, spending time at his family’s farm in NC, and serving on several insurance company advisory councils.

Lee began his insurance career in 1999 at a large national general agency. With over sixteen years of experience helping his clients, he left the agency in 2015 to become a founding member of United Producers Group.

Lee attended Georgia Southern University and now lives in Mount Pleasant, SC with his wife Katie and their sons, Trey and Graham. He helps coach his sons’ sports teams and hikes, golfs, and plays volleyball whenever he’s not in the office. Lee also participates in professional associations, serving as President of the Lowcountry Association of Health Underwriters and winning their Distinguished Service Award in 2005. He would later serve as the Treasurer for the South Carolina Association of Health Underwriters from 2014-2016.

Stephen is a proud graduate of College of Charleston. Days after commencement, a family friend introduced him to Jason and shortly after, Stephen began his career in the benefits industry. After a decade gaining experience at a national general agency, Stephen joined Jason and Lee to form United Producers Group.

Stephen is married to his wonderful wife Grace and the couple live in Mt. Pleasant with their golden retriever, Hadley. Stephen enjoys playing golf and watching most sporting events whenever he gets a chance.
