About

Tom Mertz founded Keystone Insurance Associates in 1988. Growing up, his family business was life insurance. After years of working for Columbia Life Insurance Company, Tom took a chance on opening his own agency. One of the agency’s successes over the years has been insuring Pennsylvania municipalities, fire departments, police departments, restaurants, taverns, and legion clubs.

Now, thirty years later, Keystone Insurance Associates still operates on the same values as when it first opened. In 2017, the agency was acquired by Christopher Mazza, a long time friend of Tom. When asked about his purchase of the agency, Mr. Mazza has said that “the purchase was one of the easiest deals I’ve been a part of because Tom made a career of doing the right thing so there’s nothing that needs to be changed”.
