IBA’s Young Guns recognizes young professionals who are energizing and revitalizing the insurance industry.

“We are pleased and proud that Wilson and Zohreh have been included in this list of exceptional young professionals who are changing the face of our industry,” said John Hahn, CEO of EPIC. “They are bright, capable, hard-working and extremely committed individuals who ‘lead by example’ both inside and outside of EPIC.”

Long’s responsibilities have grown steadily over the last five years. He has progressed from a national account producer to a vice president, senior vice president and now a Principal at EPIC. During this time he was twice recognized as a top producer/consultant, after posting significant new business revenue growth.

Talebzadeh manages EPIC’s Bay Area Intern Program, allowing her to not only build on the company’s success, but also mentor recent college graduates regarding the benefits of a career in insurance. She currently serves as vice president of Emerging Insurance Professionals, providing networking and community service opportunities for young insurance professionals.
