How I Got Started
About ISU Lovering Insurance Services
ISU Lovering Insurance Services was founded in 1935 by John Lovering in the Travelers Insurance Company bullpen located at 315 Montgomery Street, San Francisco.
From 1941 to 1945 Helen Lovering, John’s wife, managed the agency while John served in the Merchant Marines during World War II. In 1948 the agency was moved to San Carlos on Laurel Street. The agency continued to grow and was moved to 1331 Eaton Ave., San Carlos in 1967. John Lovering died in 1970 and the agency was purchased July 1, 1971 by John Watkins. Helen Lovering continued to work in the agency until she retired in 1987. Due to growth our current office building was purchased in April 1989, remodeled and completely updated in 1998.
John Watkins started his insurance career as a debit sales person for the John Hancock Life Insurance Company in 1961. John was in the National Guard in 1961 and 1962. In 1963 John went to work for the small Aetna (which later merged with CIGNA) as a field representative and Branch Manager of the San Jose office. John purchased John L. Lovering Insurance Agency, Inc. July 1, 1971.
Robert Watkins, CIC, CSRM, PWCA, the son of John Watkins, joined the agency on August 24, 1985 after working for Farmers Insurance Group. He started buying into the agency in January, 1994, and purchased John L. Lovering Insurance Agency, Inc. on July 1, 2003. As current President, Bob is primarily involved with sales and promoting strong contacts with the insurance companies we represent.
