Michael J. Fox

Mike Fox is a Client Specialist for Horton’s Select Business Division. In this role, Mike is responsible for maintaining and growing Horton’s customer base in the Risk Advisory Solutions Division. He is accountable for establishing and maintaining strong face-to-face relationships with Horton’s customers and assumes the primary responsibility for client service and retention

Mike brought over 38 years of experience in insurance when he arrived at Horton in 2016. Before his recent role at Horton, Mike was a Client Executive, where he was responsible for providing Horton clients with comprehensive, cost-effective and innovative solutions to meet their most complex, risk-related challenges. Prior to joining that, Mike served as a Partner at Brockhaus, Stuber, Fox & Lloyd, where his focus was personal insurance and commercial insurance for clients in the construction industry.

Mike believes outstanding customer service is the key to building long-term relationships.

“At Horton, my goal isn’t just selling insurance. It’s providing the best possible service,” said Mike. “That allows me to build lasting relationships with my clients.”

Mike views the insurance industry today as fast-paced and ever-changing. He is committed to keeping up with the latest regulations in order to provide the most effective solutions for his clients.

Mike comes from a family of insurance professionals. His father was an independent insurance agent for over 50 years. Like his father, one of the things Mike enjoys most about the profession is working with people. 

“I always try to put myself in my clients’ shoes to really understand their needs,” said Mike. “Then I can determine the best solutions to meet those needs.”

Mike grew up on Chicago’s south side, one of nine siblings. He and his wife, Mary, currently reside in Chicago. Together, the couple raised four children and now enjoy spending time with their grandchildren. In his time away from work, Mike also enjoys running (he has completed seven marathons), skiing, golfing and attending Bears games.
