Meet Nick Budor, founder, owner and principal Agent of the Budor Insurance Agency. Nick is a Vail Valley Partnership Ambassador. Learn more about our Ambassador Program here.
We asked Nick a few questions about what he likes to do in the Vail Valley and what he appreciates most about the VVP.
Where do you work and what is your role?
I am the founder, owner and principal Agent of the Budor Insurance Agency, located in Edwards in the Riverwalk center. We specialize in Farmers insurance products for homes, auto, life and small business. We also provide health insurance for individuals and health insurance and other employee benefit plans for businesses of all sizes. Lastly, we have specialty and executive risk commercial insurance capabilities for businesses of all sizes throughout the Vail Valley and greater Colorado.
What is the best thing about living in the Vail Valley?
Beyond the obvious natural beauty and proximity to world class skiing, hiking, biking, fishing etc., for me it’s the amazing sense of community. Both on the professional and personal level, the quality of people and the willingness to invest in shared success blows me away on a daily basis. I can’t imagine a better place to raise a family or start and run a small business.
In your opinion, what is the best way that the VVP adds value to a business?
Simply put: by connecting businesses. As someone who has recently started a small business, the number of opportunities to connect with other business owners in the Vail Valley through VVP events has been invaluable. Whether it has been mixers, the Ambassador Program or other events, I always come away with new ideas and leads and also feel that I can help other folks out. Again, I’ll go back to “shared success”—that truly is the #1 part of my experience in the Vail Valley so far and a good part of that has been through my engagement with other VVP members.
What is one benefit you suggest new members take advantage of?
The events—it’s the best way to meet other members quickly and once you go to a few of them, you start getting to know a great group of people and the network just takes off after that.
