Mr. Rigg caught the aviation bug from his father, a decorated B-26 Marauder pilot and veteran of WWII.  Once his father became a civilian corporate pilot, Dave hitched rides and began his journey into aviation.  After completing undergraduate studies, Dave completed his Commercial pilot training and spent time as a corporate pilot flying mostly Beech King Airs.  Dave then transitioned into the aviation insurance industry as an underwriter with USAIG.  Witnessing the success of Parrish-O’Neill through daily interaction as an underwriter, Dave welcomed the opportunity to come aboard in 1988.  He has continued the traditions and values of the firm and is active in industry trade groups and councils.  Dave is a Commercial pilot with over 3,500 hours and remains active in the firm’s A36 Bonanza.  He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business from Bowling Green State University.

Mr. Kennedy completed his Private pilot training in Cleveland, Ohio in high school and continued into the Professional Pilot Program at Ohio University.  Upon graduation Scott interned in the aviation department of a large insurance brokerage in New York City.  Then he returned to regular flying as a flight instructor for Sporty’s.  Ultimately, Scott decided to focus on the business segment of the aviation industry, and upon learning of the leading insurance firm in the region, he expressed an interest and joined Parrish-O’Neill in 1998.  Scott completed postgraduate studies while working for the firm.  He is a Commercial Pilot and Certified Flight Instructor with 1,300 hours and remains active in the firm’s A36 Bonanza as well as flight instructing.  Scott holds a Bachelors Degree in Aviation and a Masters Degree in Business from Ohio University.
