Craig Blas’s GEICO story started from the ground up, washing cars at a sports center as he began his journey with the company. In 2008, Craig moved into insurance underwriting, launching a career built on what has always come naturally to him: helping people.
After gaining valuable experience on the corporate side of the insurance industry, Craig connected with Jamie Bryant at GEICO and discovered that sales gave him an opportunity to do what he enjoyed most: working directly with customers. His philosophy is straightforward: “Stop talking and put in the work.”
For Craig, putting in the work means more than selling an insurance policy. It means being present when customers need help.
He recalls visiting an older couple at their home to personally walk them through their insurance needs. That willingness to meet people where they are reflects the kind of personalized service Craig brings to customers throughout Wesley Chapel and the surrounding Tampa Bay community. In an increasingly digital world, Craig still believes in the value of a conversation, a handshake, and taking the time to make sure customers understand their options.
That community-first approach makes Craig a natural fit for GEICO’s local presence. His goal is not simply to conduct business in Wesley Chapel, but to become a trusted resource for the people and families who call the community home.
Outside of work, Craig enjoys NASCAR, baseball, fishing, camping, traveling, and spending time outdoors. He is married and the father of two teenagers, ages 15 and 17, making work-life balance especially important to him.
When asked where he sees himself five years from now, Craig’s answer reflects the same philosophy that has guided his career:
“Still engaging and helping the community.”
