Michael J. Krupin
Senior Partner

Michael J. Krupin, CLU, has ranked among the top 1% of life insurance producers for the majority of his 39-year career.  As senior partner and co-founder of Gilbert-Krupin, Michael brings experience, integrity and trust to high-net worth families across the country.

By age 26, Michael was the highest-ranked producer for insurance carrier Provident Mutual, which would eventually become Nationwide Insurance.  By age 33, Michael formed Krupin Associates in Richmond, VA, and built a substantial practice that realized over $2 billion in life insurance policies in a short time period. Today, Michael has personally handled two cases worth over $100 million in one year alone.  From 1976 through today, he has ranked among the top insurance professionals in the US.

In 1996, Michael and his son, Bryan Krupin, joined forces with another of the country’s top of life insurance producers, Dennis Gilbert, to create Gilbert-Krupin, a high-end firm that offers insurance coverage through many different carriers.  Gilbert-Krupin soon became one of the single largest high-end life insurance and estate planning firms in Southern California.   Today, the firm counts the nation’s leading A-list individuals in entertainment, sports, business and healthcare as clients. 

A highly sought speaker with an eye on fostering the next generation of insurance and estate planning professionals, Michael often speaks to executives in the wealth services industry as well as to students in entrepreneurship curriculums.  He regularly leads discussions for the nation’s top law firms, business managers and financial advisors on the nuances they need to know for optimally insuring their clients.

When leading a class on entrepreneurship, Michael outlines what he considers to be the hallmarks that have lead to the success in his career:  as an insurance professional, always represent the client, not the carrier; always remain independent, consistent, trustworthy, flexible and enthusiastic; follow your passion, and your positive energy will come through, leading to success in the workplace and strong relationships in and outside of the office.

In addition to his professional accomplishment, Michael cites his family as his greatest success.  His children, Bryan and Ashley, are both considered industry leaders in their own right and work at Gilbert-Krupin.   In 2006 Michael, his children and his wife, Marti, formed the Krupin Family Foundation to give back to the communities that have given them so many opportunities.  In 2008, Michael was honored with the "Father of the Year" award from the American Diabetes Association.

Over the past several years, Mike and Marti have supported many programs for education, children’s cancer and healthcare.  The Krupin’s recently gifted $1 million for a new gymnasium at Michael’s Alma Mater, Hampden-Sydney College.  Hampden-Sydney will name the gymnasium for one of their greatest alumni success stories, Michael J. Krupin.

Michael belongs to the National Association of Financial Advisors (NAIFA), the Advanced Association of Life Underwriters (AALU), the Million Dollar Roundtable (MDRT), and the Top of the Table (TOT) – qualifying for the 27th straight year in 2007.  He has also qualified many years for the National Association of Life Underwriters National Quality Award.  He earned his Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) designation in 1975 from American College, graduated from the International Association of Registered Financial Planners in 1987 and earned a BA from Hampden-Sydney College in 1969.

Michael and Marti split their time between Beverly Hills, CA, and Richmond, VA.  He has two children and two grandchildren, Harrison and Tatum.  He still wakes up at 5 a.m. every day, looks forward to going into the office and has no plans to retire.  And he still writes the personal thank you notes to those he meets every day, just as he did when he first started his practice 37 years ago.
