Lamont Thurston joined Brooks in 2008 after a successful 14-year career in commercial banking, most recently managing a $2.2 billion commercial lending group. Licensed in property and casualty and life and health insurance, Lamont’s principal focus is large group employee benefits and the development of new relationships.

Lamont works closely with clients to help them understand the financial risks associated with their benefit programs and how to maximize the return on investment in their people.

Joined by a talented team of Brooks’ professionals, Lamont executes those solutions which explains why client retention remains high.
