Gary Thompson Agency's Krae Dutoit has been included in Insurance Business America magazine's annual Young Guns report, recognizing 72 up and comers aged 35 and under who are representing the fresh new faces of America's insurance industry.

Under Dutoit's leadership, the agency has added six new locations, more than 30 new employees and five new carriers. It has also experienced a 100% increase with its largest carrier, restructured its management group to allow for long-term perpetuation and increased shareholder returns by nearly 30% over the past two years.

Dutoit won the agency's New Sales Leader Award every year from 2011 to 2017. In 2016-17, he served as president of the Independent Insurance Agents of Nebraska, the youngest in its history.
