Meet Our Team

Robert Davis

Robert began his insurance career in 1999 as a licensed agent for Farmers Insurance. After two years he was appointed to serve as a district manager for Farmers, recruiting and training agents in the Kansas City area. He left Farmers in October 2011 to start Ambassador Insurance Midwest.

From day one, Robert's vision for Ambassador was to create a partnership between the best insurance carriers in the marketplace and our own team of highly-trained agents and support staff. His goal has always been to make sure our customers get the advice and coverage they need, at a price that makes sense.

Robert and his wife, Jamie, have three sons and live in Shawnee, KS. Outside of work, he and his family enjoy traveling, snow skiing, hiking and anything on the water!
