Second term Board member Mark Morrison wants to give boys the opportunity to grow up in a loving home like he did. “I had two great parents, each of them had very good parents, and I think my kids have two great parents. I don’t know how you survive without that,” he says, “especially if you’ve got physical, mental, medical and emotional handicaps like our boys.”



Mark graduated from Murray State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications and Business. He is a CLU and Licensed Health Consultant and a member of the National Association of Health Underwriters.



Mark has developed a specialty practice in employee benefits for larger employers with a particular focus on “self-funded health plan cost management”. He currently works with employers in Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia and Mississippi. Mark has been working with employee benefit plans for 25 years and recently merged his local organization with Brown and Brown Insurance (the 6th largest insurance intermediary in the United States). This merger has expanded his role (and his cost management team’s role) throughout the greater Midwest. Mark’s current clients include privately held corporations, utilities, financials, and public companies.

For him, “The most rewarding thing is hearing the success stories of young men who’ve had tough starts in life that Boys’ Haven has helped onto a better road
