MEET THE TEAM
SANTA & ARTIE
Premier Risk Insurance all started back in 1978 when Santa J Cuchel & Arthur Cafiero met at The Equitable Life Assurances Society of the US. Both of them left their positions at Equitable to start their own P&C consulting firm which is where Premier Risk Insurance began to bloom. After being business partners and best friends for over 7 years, Santa and Arthur decided to get married. With a leap of faith, they started cold calling in a small office in Queens, NY to progress the business. Over the years, business developed and their family grew. In 1989, they made the move to the Lynbrook office, where the company has been located for almost 30 years. With a new generation helping at the helm, the family business continues to run with as much heart and passion as it did back in the 80s.
