Get to know Nick Deas

I was born and raised into a Gator household in Miami. Being a Gator fan in the 80s in Miami while the Hurricanes were winning National Championships was not easy. We took our share of jabs for our orange and blue attire, however, we stayed committed and listened to Mick and Lee on the radio broadcast… Fast forward many years and UF was the only school I applied to and where I graduated from in 2002. I loved my time in Gainesville, but moved back to Miami after graduation to begin my career in financial services at a large insurance carrier.

My kids and I like to cook, barbecue, and smoke meat on the Green Egg. We love trying new recipes and creating healthy meals we can enjoy together. We are always up for a spirited game of Monopoly and like to spend time in the yard with our Kerry Blue Terrier “Fitzgerald”. Another fun hobby of ours is playing basketball and ping pong and cheering on the Gator sports teams.

My relationship with McGriff-Williams began when we moved to Gainesville as they handled my home and auto insurance. I always appreciated how they conducted business and the reputation they built over the years. I am grateful to be part of the MWI family advising clients on Life, Disability & Long Term Care Insurance. I am passionate about providing professional but caring service to our community, and appreciate the relationships that we’ve formed.
