He started his own agency in 1985 at 5055 Elmore Road where the agency remains today with son Erin at the helm.
Troy was the State of Tennessee Allstate Agent of the year many years and eventually was on Allstate's National Speakers Bureau where he talked to agents across the nation about how to build their agencies.

The McDonalds have several rental properties and know first hand the challenges Real Estate Investors face. Having the right insurance with the right coverage can make one aspect of landlording easier. They also are engrained in the insurance community so if they cannot help you, often they can help you find an agent elsewhere to help.
Both feel that MIG has benefited them greatly, not only bringing them new clients and friendships, but also in helping them be more successful investors and landlords.
