who we are
Our History
ESPinc was founded in 1969 by the late Mr. Robert Sanderson. Mr. Sanderson gave over forty years to the insurance business, starting as one of the original managers who began the Hartford Offices in Nashville.
ESPinc was purchased from Mr. Sanderson in 1988 by Mr. Bob Shupe. Previously, Mr. Shupe worked for the Nationwide Insurance Group for eleven years serving in several capacities including commercial group health, P&C trainer, District Manager, and independent agent.
In 2014, ESPinc became ESP, LLC to accommodate the growth of our firm.
In 2024, ownership transitioned from Bob Shupe to Brittany Spradling and Jeremy Shupe. Bob remains on staff as an independent consultant.
