Stan Knight

Owner/Agency Manager

Stan Knight is the Owner/Agency Manager of Powdersville Insurance Agency, Inc., having purchased the agency from Mr. Sam Stephens in 2008. Stan and his wife, Ellen, live in Mauldin and have three children and four grandchildren. Ellen is a retired school administrator with the Greenville County School District. In 1987, Stan began his insurance career with the South Carolina Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company in Mauldin, and as an agent received several awards and incentives in his nine years with the company.

Stan worked with the Wickliffe Agency in Simpsonville for six years prior to coming to Powdersvile for the ownership opportunity. Stan has completed numerous company sponsored and Industry led training programs, including the professional designation of LUTCF in 1995.
