Who We Are

Jack Thompson assumed ownership and brought in his son, Steve B. Thompson, in 1973. In 1982, R. Alex Rankin joined the firm and now serves as acting Chairman.

In 2002, Philip D. Anderton joined the agency, where he now holds the title of President.  Each department within the agency is led by a member of the 9-person management team, and in total the agency is comprised of over 80 employees.
