Art started Art Janes Insurance back in 1962. His vision was to provide South Hillsborough County with an insurance agency they could trust. Art has seen his vision grow into a reality.

Art Janes Insurance is the oldest and largest agency in what is now called South Shore. Art Janes Insurance serves several thousand personal lines clients in and around the Hillsborough County area. In 1988, Art saw the community was in need of an insurance agency that specialized in commercial insurance so he started Gulf Coast Commercial Insurance, which not only serves the business needs of our local community, but also serves clients all over the State of Florida and several out of state clients.

John Yoho, principal Commercial Agent for Gulf Coast Commercial Insurance, started as a school music teacher. After being exposed to the business of insurance from a family member in 1985, he decided to make it his life’s calling.

John prides himself on keeping abreast of all the latest potential pitfalls that confront the business owner on a daily basis, and is conversant with all applicable methods to avoid, minimize and transfer risk. He holds the designation of Certified Insurance Counselor, a comprehensive and on-going certification which requires annual schooling. John has been a CIC since 1990.
