Background
A career built on service, twice over
David Kanefsky has worked as an independent insurance producer since 2018, licensed across multiple states and helping clients navigate personal, commercial, life, and travel insurance. He's not captive to a single carrier — as an independent, his job is to shop coverage across the market and find the right fit for each client, not push whatever one company happens to be selling that quarter.
Before insurance, David served in the U.S. Army, including as a graduate of the Army Mountain Warfare School, and later served in the Colorado Army National Guard, where he trained and certified as a Type-2 Wildland Firefighter. He holds a degree from the University of Denver's Daniels College of Business. That combination — military risk assessment training and formal business education — shapes how he approaches every policy: understand the real exposure first, then build coverage around it.
Why It Matters Who Advises You
Risk-takers make better risk advisors
Family, travel, and adventure — all with coming home safely — are the throughline of David's life outside the office, and they're not separate from the work. Understanding risk isn't theoretical for him. Big mountains, remote travel, technical terrain: managing that kind of risk well, and knowing when and how to take it on, is exactly the judgment clients are paying for when they hand over their homes, vehicles, businesses, and family's protection. It's easier to help a client weigh a real opportunity against a real risk when you've done the same calculation yourself, more than once.
