Why I started Whitinger & Co. Insurance

After more than twenty-five years in the industry, I founded Whitinger & Co. Insurance with one goal: to build the kind of agency I would want advising my own family and business.

I wanted an agency where relationships come before transactions. Where clients receive thoughtful advice instead of one-size-fits-all solutions. Where trust is earned through integrity, expertise, and responsiveness.

Every recommendation we make is guided by one simple question: if this were our own business, what would we do? That philosophy continues to guide every decision we make today.

The Path Here

Built through ownership.

Unlike many insurance professionals, Josh has built and operated successful agencies throughout his career. Whitinger & Co. brings together everything learned along the way.

Partner, Broker & Operator

Peoples Insurance

A respected family-owned agency built alongside his parents and brothers. Those years established the values that still define the firm: integrity, accountability, exceptional service, and treating every client like family.

Founder

Resolute Partners

An independent commercial insurance agency serving businesses throughout the Midwest. Under his leadership the agency grew significantly before a successful private equity acquisition.

Executive Leadership

National Insurance Organizations

Advising businesses across the United States while continuing to specialize in commercial insurance, transportation, employee benefits, and risk management.
