David J. Cohen

Overview

Founder David J. Cohen was born and raised on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, moved with his family to Kings Highway in Brooklyn and, ultimately, to Long Island. He graduated from Stony Brook University in 1971 with aspirations to be a dentist and stumbled into the insurance industry, where he started out as an Individual Life salesman.

In 1976, with just an idea and a dime, he ended his career as a producer and started The DBL Center Ltd. to focus on servicing brokers and selling on their behalf. In 1986 he expanded to the state of Hawaii and his company currently manages a premium block of $190 million on the behalf of its sub-producing agents.
