Livingston has stepped into a producer role based out of Maximum’s growing Tampa office. Originally from Georgia, Livingston found his way to Tampa 5 years ago and began cultivating a deeper understanding of the E&S industry in both an underwriting and brokering capacity.

Livingston stated, “I was originally drawn to Maximum because of the vast number of markets available and the opportunity to grow alongside the Tampa office. My decision was an easy one after visiting both the Tampa team and the Chicago home office. I was able to see firsthand how the team dynamic truly runs through every office, and I knew I wanted to be a part of it.”

Joe Messina, President and CEO, said, “Right away it was clear that Jeff would be a great fit for our team. He’s driven, personable, and has a sense of how his continued growth will contribute to the overall success of the company. We have no doubt he’ll find great success as part of the Maximum crew.”
