Meet Our President
Harbor America's President, Doug Lowery, started his professional career in the trucking and logistics industry. Early in his career, the need for comprehensive business and risk management solutions for small business owners became apparent. Harbor America was created to fulfill that need and has adapted from serving predominately blue-collar clients to implementing the tools and services for the gray and white-collar markets as well. Perhaps more importantly, Mr. Lowery and the entire management team believe in the importance of the American worker. Part of the company's overall mission is to serve and support these employees by working with their day-to-day employers to provide benefits, services, and support, resulting in better places to work.
