NEW YORK — NFP, an Aon company and leading property and casualty (P&C) broker, benefits consultant, wealth manager and retirement plan advisor, today announced the acquisition of Capstone Strategies, LLC, a P&C and benefits broker located in Midland, Texas. Capstone Strategies founders Blake Johnston and Brandon Sheppard will join NFP as senior vice presidents, reporting to Amanda Ruback, P&C managing director in NFP’s Central region.
“We’re excited to welcome Blake and Brandon to NFP and add to our presence in West Texas,” said Ruback. “The Capstone team has a strong foundation of trust within the community, and we look forward to introducing new, integrated solutions that address the needs of their clients in the region.
