We’re not trained salespeople.
Our agency is trained to provide personal risk solutions for high net worth clients. Our focus is on the client’s experience while learning about, evaluating, and purchasing the right insurance for their needs. And if a claim does occur, we’ll be your advocate through the process and its resolution.

– Meet Ryan
Ryan McKinney;
CIC, CPRM, CPRIA, CWCC, CPIA, AFIS
President
Ryan is the president of McKinney-Green Insurance, LLC. He entered the insurance industry over 20 years ago working for two of the largest brokers in the country, where his primary focus was on complex commercial accounts with premiums well over $100,000.
In 2017, after discovering that many of his successful commercial clients did not have the same level of sophistication and expertise applied to their personal insurance coverage, he developed a long-term plan to shift his focus. He began deepening his knowledge by studying applicable coverage and solutions for affluent families before partnering with John M. Green Insurance.
The process always begins by asking engaging questions and listening to gain a detailed understanding of a client’s family, lifestyle, priorities, and passions. In many cases, this is a combined approach involving wealth managers, estate attorneys, CPAs, family offices, and other advisors, to develop the best solutions. He strives to continually increase his industry knowledge and bring more value to his clients.
Ryan has attained his Certified Insurance Counselors (CIC), Certified Personal Risk Manager (CPRM), Chartered Private Risk and Insurance Advisor (CPRIA), Certified Workers Compensation Counselor (CWCC), Certified Professional Insurance Agent (CPIA), and Agribusiness & Farm Insurance Specialist (AFIS) designations.
He is actively involved with the local chapter of the Professional Insurance Agents (PIA), Insurors of Tennessee, and Heritage Foundation of Williamson County.
Ryan lives in Franklin, TN with his wife Genevieve and their two children. They are active members of Brentwood Baptist Church where Ryan serves as a deacon. Ryan has served on the board of numerous community organizations and currently serves on the boards of the Professional Insurance Agents of TN and the Downtown Franklin Association. A competitor at heart, he is an Ironman finisher (10:15) and avid off-road motorcycle racer.
