Our Story

Kemner-Iott Agency
Kemner-Iott Agency was formed in September of 1981 when Dan Iott and Stan Kemner merged their agencies. Prior to the merger, Stan Kemner Owned his own agency and Dan Iott worked for his father, Fran Iott. Dan purchased one of his dad’s branch offices and then merged with Stan Kemner’s agency to form the Kemner-Iott Agency. An Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) was established in 1990 upon Stan Kemner’s retirement and Kemner-Iott continued as an ESOP company until July 2016 when Kemner Iott Benz became an Acrisure Agency Partner.
