Prior to joining Sunshine, Rogan was vice president of CGU Insurance Company in Maitland, Fla. He successfully integrated the Florida operations of General Accident and Commercial Union after the two companies merged. Earlier, he was vice president and agency manager of Naughton Insurance Services in Jacksonville, Fla., a multi-line agency writing business across the U.S. For six years he also served as vice president with CIGNA Property and Casualty Companies in Jacksonville.
