Dealers can now seek guidance about insurance and more from four experienced experts who joined EPIC Insurance Brokers & Consultants this week.

The national insurance brokerage and consulting firm providing specialized services and products across select industries and client sectors announced that auto dealership F&I experts Ryan Hoff and John Jacobi have joined the firm.

Based in Irvine, Calif., Hoff and Jacobi bring more than 25 years of experience specializing in point-of-sale warranty and insurance products critical to auto dealerships.

Joining Hoff and Jacobi are senior team members Jeff Rodewald and George Hogan, who will serve as principals.

Hoff will serve as chief revenue officer of EPIC Auto Dealer F&I solutions, with Jacobi being the chief growth officer for F&I.

“We are excited to join EPIC at a time of strong momentum in the auto dealer space,” Hoff said in a news release. “The firm’s commitment to investing in specialized expertise and delivering integrated solutions across F&I, employee benefits and P&C creates a powerful opportunity for our clients.”

“This is an incredible opportunity for us to join a team that is uniquely committed to its people and culture, and a brand that reflects that same commitment and passion for its clients,” Jacobi added. “We are thrilled to be on the same team with Eric Shaw of EPIC as together we are ready to tap into the incredible potential that this partnership has created.”

Eric Shaw is managing principal and leader of EPIC Auto Dealer Group.
