Donovan Rankin

President

Being raised by his single mother who ran her own businesses Donovan was raised with the entrepreneurial spirit and learned business at a young age. Prior to entering the insurance business Donovan operated several of his own businesses starting with hot dog carts in high school to his own construction company. When the opportunity was presented Donovan obtained his insurance license in 1992 and worked at Beecher-Kay Realty and Insurance in Wildwood, NJ. Donovan quickly outpaced and outgrew Beecher-Kay. Donovan approached the then Principal of Anchor Insurance in Rio Grande, NJ for a position selling commercial insurance and specializing in hotel, motel and condominium insurance. Again, Donovan quickly outpaced the agencies capabilities. In October 1998 Donovan incorporated Coastline Insurance Agency Inc. Coastline insurance opened for business in January 1999 then located at 4612 Park Boulevard, Wildwood in the building his Great Grandfather built in 1906 shortly after coming to America. Within a few years the agency grew from the original core of three agents to a staff of five. In 2004 Coastline Insurance Agency moved to our present location at 1201 New Jersey Avenue, North Wildwood, NJ 08260. In 2005 Coastline Insurance acquired Chris-Ors and Company a long time insurance and real estate office servicing Cape May County. In 2016 Coastline Insurance Agency incorporated Beecher-Kay Realty Company where Mr. Rankin began his insurance career.
