About HBS


HBS Insurance was founded by Ron Smith, a U.S. Air Force veteran whose commitment to discipline, service, and doing the right thing shaped the agency’s foundation. After completing his military service, Ron brought that same sense of duty home to Jeffersonville, where he built HBS Insurance on the principles of honesty, accountability, and community care. For more than three decades, HBS Insurance has been part of the Jeffersonville community, offering independent advice and personal service to families and businesses across Southern Indiana and Louisville.
