Benjamin Romo
Agency Producer
Benjamin Romo is a notable figure with deep roots in Mammoth Lakes, CA, a sixth-generation descendant of the region’s early settlers. He started skiing at 18 months and transitioned to snowboarding when it became legal in California. By middle school, his snowboarding talent earned him a spot on the high school team, where he served as captain during his junior and senior years, leading the team to several state championships and later coaching them to another title. In addition to snowboarding, Benjamin is a skilled rock climber with three first ascents featured in the Eastern Sierra Rock Climbing guide. His adventurous spirit extended to his professional life when he joined the US Navy’s expeditionary program right after high school. His military career included missions against terrorism in Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Japan, earning him meritorious promotions and commendations, including an award from the Brigadier General Commanding Forces in Afghanistan.
After his military service, Benjamin earned a bachelor’s degree in organizational management with honors and began his career with Calfire, quickly rising to company officer. He played a key role in managing major fires such as the Paradise Fire, Valley Fire, and North Complex Fire. Benjamin’s shift to the insurance industry, though unexpected, leverages his risk assessment skills developed through firefighting. His expertise in building construction, wildfire behavior, and loss prevention provides a unique advantage. He excels in managing complex risks, from homeowners’ associations in wildfire zones to government contractors in hazardous regions of Africa, while also supporting individuals facing challenges with homeowners’ insurance in tough markets.
In his current role, Benjamin is committed to meeting clients’ needs and solving problems effectively. He values teamwork and works closely with his exceptional team, ensuring they have the support and information necessary to excel in their roles. Through his diverse background and unwavering dedication, Benjamin continues to make significant contributions to both his clients and the insurance industry.
