Scott G. Sink has more than 30 years of experience working with property and casualty insurance plans. The bulk of his career has been spent in the Birmingham, Alabama, office of McGriff, Seibels & Williams, Inc., where Scott G. Sink serves as the senior executive vice president and practice leader of the Energy and Marine Division.

McGriff, Seibels & Williams holds distinction as one of the United States’ most forward-thinking insurance brokerage firms. The firm traces its history to 1886, when Molton Allen & Williams opened in Birmingham. Years later, in the early 1900s, members of the McGriff and Seibels families opened their own agencies.

McGriff’s three founding partners, Lee McGriff, Jr., Henry G. Seibels, Jr., and Elliott T. Williams, Jr., each spent time at their respective family firms, and a joint agency, McGriff & Seibels, formed in 1968. Fourteen years later, McGriff & Seibels merged with Molton Allen & Williams to create McGriff, Seibels & Williams.

McGriff has consistently expanded its national presence in the subsequent years and currently maintains 13 offices across the United States. The firm became a subsidiary of BB&T Insurance Holdings, Inc., in 2004, and in so doing, joined a company that today is recognized as one of the largest insurance brokerage firms in the country.
