J. Mark Bowery Insurance

Our History

Liability and workers' insurance to protect your business and first responders

In March of 1992, Mark and Wendy Bowery, both natives of Kingsport, Tennessee, purchased the VFIS Book of Business and built an insurance agency, J. Mark Bowery Insurance, which focuses on serving the insurance needs of volunteer fire and rescue organizations and EMS providers in Tennessee and Virginia. Mark still represents VFIS and Correll as the VFIS Regional Director for East Tennessee and Southwest and Central Virginia – the same territory that he has been so involved in over the past 36+ years.  

After more than three decades of growth, J. Mark Bowery Insurance became a division of Correll Insurance Group in January 2020. In 2022, Michelle Wheeler joined us and opened Bowery Insurance Services to serve our community with personal and commercial lines insurance products. J. Mark Bowery Insurance still focuses on insurance solutions for firefighters and emergency service organizations.  

While most family-owned businesses cannot successfully transition to the second or third generation, we have defied the odds, currently operating with team members from the third and fourth generations.
