Mike Barrett

Founder/President

Mike started BBG in 2003 with a focus on bringing customized options to his clients. Since BBG is an insurance brokerage and TPA, those options can be envisioned and managed by Team BBG. A client once gave Mike the best compliment by saying “what BBG does is easy to explain but hard to execute.” Like many Clevelanders, Mike has lived in other parts of the country but then returned “home.” He commenced his first decade after college teaching high school, coaching and earning a graduate degree on a fellowship from Columbia University. Mike and his family own an obscene amount of Browns, Guardians and Cavs merch.
