Brian David has launched his own insurance agency in town.

David, a 17-year Wayne resident, celebrated the opening of the agency on Friday.

“I love this town, and all that it offers its residents,” David said. “I look forward to helping my neighbors with all their insurance needs and retirement planning.”

David said he is passionate about educating young drivers about the dangers of texting while driving.

David will be visiting local high schools to promote Allstate’s X the Text campaign.

David’s agency is located on Mountain View Boulevard.
