About John Tallarida

With over 35years in the insurance industry I am still baffled over how much I enjoy this business. I work attentively with my clients to assess their insurance needs so that I am able to provide them with the best and most comprehensive policies. My underwriting background with a large underwriting company and large account experience with a national broker allows me to systematically structure risk management and insurance programs best suited for large commercial clients. I have particular expertise in structuring and managing alternative risk products for clients willing to take risk as part of their risk management strategies. The people I am surrounded by at my company are most important to me. Heffernan enjoys all of the industry accolades you could wish for including “Best Place to Work”. Not unexpectedly it comes down to the folks who work here. Our culture is strong and that is reflected daily through our clients’ loyalty and confidence and also through our ability to gain new clients on a regular basis. When I am not being a glamorous insurance broker, my passions are skiing, cycling and overall fitness. The next time you see a group of cyclists, take a careful look as we sponsor two major bike clubs in the Bay Area and you will see Heffernan prominently displayed!
