As an Insurance Advisor at Hotaling Insurance Services, Jeremy Kennedy helps individuals, families, and business owners navigate the complexities of today’s insurance market with clarity and confidence. He specializes in both Property & Casualty and Life insurance, with a focus on placing hard-to-insure risks and structuring coverage that’s built to last.
Jeremy’s path to insurance was personal. After enduring the stress of settling his grandparents’ disorganized estate, he saw firsthand how poor planning can leave loved ones vulnerable. That experience ignited a passion for helping others protect their futures before it is too late.
Prior to joining Hotaling, Jeremy founded and operated small businesses, including a construction company and a trucking operation, giving him a firsthand understanding of the risks business owners face every day. His diverse background, which spans marine construction, agricultural sales, and mortgage financing, gives him a well-rounded perspective on risk management that few advisors can match.
Born and raised in Riverhead, NY, Jeremy grew up in a challenging environment that shaped his relentless work ethic. With no safety net and little outside guidance or support, he developed a deep sense of responsibility that continues to drive the way he serves clients today.
Outside the office, Jeremy is a proud father to his young daughter and son. He’s an avid CrossFitter, mountain biker, and outdoor enthusiast who enjoys staying active and spending time with his family, especially around the BBQ.
Jeremy approaches insurance not just as a profession, but as a personal mission to help others plan ahead, avoid hardship, and find peace of mind. Clients trust him because he brings more than expertise; he brings real-world experience, grit, and an unwavering commitment to protecting what matters most.
