Richard C. Imbert left an indelible mark on American Professional Agency, a company he transformed from a small family business into a thriving enterprise. Under his leadership, the agency moved to Amityville, Long Island in the 1970s, where he nurtured it into a highly successful business, employing over 50 people. His visionary approach and unyielding drive for excellence were instrumental in shaping the company's trajectory. Rick's legacy at American Professional Agency is not only reflected in its commercial success but also in the strong corporate culture he fostered, characterized by a commitment to service, innovation, and community engagement. His entrepreneurial spirit and personal mantra of accomplishing tasks with speed and efficiency—"Rome wasn't built in a day, but that's because I wasn't there"—remain a source of inspiration and guiding principle for the company and its employees.
