David Hirth began his career in the insurance industry in 1980 when he started a new agency in New Ulm, Minnesota. David started without an existing client base and managed to grow his business to a thriving agency with all personal lines, commercial and farm accounts.
During David’s tenure in the insurance business he was a District Manager for MSI, Southern Minnesota territory from 1987 through 1995. The District Manager positions encompassed supervising his personal agency and 35 additional agencies as well as provide training for agents in Commercial, Personal, Townships, Life and Health lines. In 1995, David decided to return his focus to the growth of his personal business.
In 2001, David merged his personal agency with the Citizens Bank Agency to become the Citizens David Hirth Agency. After actively managing this agency for 11 years, in 2013 David decided that he would return to the independent agency model where he could spend more time with clients and less time managing day-to-day operations.
David is a native of New Ulm and a life-long resident. David holds a B.S. from Minnesota State University in Business Administration. He attended a 1-year program for Agency Management; completed MSI Township Government short courses from 1980 to 2001; and completed 3 of the 4 required courses for the L.U.T.C (Life Underwriting Training Council). David has also worked as an expert witness for Insurance Litigation cases and continues to stay abreast issues and changes in the industry.
David and his staff currently handle auto, home, farm, business, life and health insurance coverages.
