EPIC adds auto dealership F&I specialists

EPIC Insurance Brokers & Consultants  has expanded its auto dealership practice with the addition of finance and insurance (F&I) specialists Ryan Hoff and John Jacobi, along with senior team members Jeff Rodewald and George Hogan.

Based in Irvine, California, Hoff and Jacobi each bring more than 25 years of experience specializing in point-of-sale warranty and insurance products for auto dealerships. Rodewald and Hogan join the firm as principals.

The hires bolster EPIC’s Auto Dealer Group, which provides risk management, property and casualty insurance, employee benefits, and finance and insurance solutions tailored to auto dealerships.

Hoff has been named Chief Revenue Officer of EPIC Auto Dealer F&I Solutions, while Jacobi will serve as Chief Growth Officer for F&I.

“We are excited to join EPIC at a time of strong momentum in the auto dealer space,” said Hoff. “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.”

Eric Shaw, managing principal and leader of EPIC Auto Dealer Group, said the new additions are “highly regarded leaders in the F&I space” and will strengthen the firm’s ability to serve dealership clients.
