About Us
Since 1987 you may have known us as AIA, or American Insurance Administrators, or as one of our three core divisions: AIA Property & Casualty (P&C), Benefits Resource Group (BRG), or as Benefits Broker Solutions (BBS). You may have heard something about us becoming part of Alera Group in 2017. But we are all one company, and now we are aligning our name, our brand, our new look, and our new website to reflect that strong one-company story.
Work With Us
We are passionate about collaboration and growth. Enjoy working in a highly collaborative culture? Looking for an exciting environment that is constantly growing and improving? If you care about providing outstanding client service while serving local communities, then we may be looking for you.
Meet Our Team
Bob Pease Jr
Medicare & Individual Consultant
Bob is a certified Medicare consultant. With more than 30 years of experience in the insurance industry, Bob understands the value an agent can be to the client.
As we age, quality healthcare is more important than ever. Making insurance coverage decisions while planning for your retirement or if you continue to work after you become eligible for Medicare can be overwhelming.
Understanding your Medicare options can be confusing if you do it on your own. Bob can help you understand your options, how and when to enroll, and what plans best fit your individual situation.
He takes an educational approach when meeting with you as you are considering your Medicare options. He has found that explaining Medicare and the various options in an engaging and informal setting shows a person that Medicare is not as overwhelming as it may appear. He will analyze your situation and needs and together develop an insurance plan that fits your lifestyle.
In his spare time, he and his wife Sue enjoy fishing, hiking, and golf. They reside in Dillsburg, PA.

AI Isn’t Liable for the Mistake. You Are.
Artificial intelligence is powerful. It’s also wrong more often than people want to admit.
