What is the story behind your business or how it got started?
Davevic Benefit Consultants, Inc. was founded in 1988 when Bill Gordon purchased the group insurance accounts from Harshaw’s Insurance, Inc. Bill graduated from Michigan State University and was manager of Harshaw’s Insurance for several years before buying the group insurance business and starting Davevic. David Gordon joined the firm in June of 1994 after spending several years working for Marine/PNC Bank as a Trust Investment Officer. Davevic began their growth by always recognizing that they needed to always provide exceptional value to their clients with superior customer service and creative cost saving solutions. The Gordon family was thrilled to bring on a third generation Gordon to the business in January 2020. Matt spent two years with First National Bank in their Management Training Program and finished his MBA over the past year.
