In 1945, Gant Redmon was working at the E. St. Louis, Illinois stockyards. Having obtained a college education, he began selling insurance in the evenings out of his home-based office in Collinsville, Illinois. After a short part-time tenure in insurance, he transitioned into a full-time insurance agent. He aggressively grew the business by providing clients with excellent service and working very long hours, combined with an honest and direct approach.

Bogie Redmon, Gant and Doris Redmon’s son, graduated from the University of Illinois in 1965 and, upon graduation, started in the family business with his father Gant. As Bogie was an all-American high school and college basketball player at the University of Illinois, he was widely recognized, both within the community and throughout the state of Illinois as an accomplished sports figure. However, all who know Bogie recognize him primarily for his honesty, integrity and down-to-earth qualities. In 2005 Kai Redmon, having secured a bachelor’s degree in business and master degrees in both safety and health, and business administration (MBA), and with over fifteen years of experience up to and including senior level management positions, transitioned into a career as a third generation agent in our family’s Collinsville, Illinois insurance business agency.  Kai aggressively expanded the business by adding a second location in Edwardsville, Illinois in 2015; acquiring Morris & Associates in 2018; and adding a third affiliate office in Godfrey, Illinois in 2019.

With over 70 years of providing insurance options for valued clients based on a foundation of honesty, integrity and service, the Redmon Insurance Agency partners with a number of industry-leading regional and national insurance providers.
