Upon graduating from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, with a major in insurance studies, Jack Windolf was commissioned as a lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps. Jack and his new bride, Muriel Bollinger Windolf, then moved to Quantico, VA for one year and then served 3 years with the 1st Marine Brigade, stationed at Kaneohe, HI. After 4 years of active duty, Jack joined Bollinger, Inc., which, at the time, was owned and operated by his father-in-law, Jim Bollinger.

Jack started as a producer with Bollinger, learning the business from the ground up. He earned professional degrees in both property casualty insurance (CPCU) and life and health insurance (CLU). Within 2 years, due to the poor health of Jim Bollinger, Jack took over the reins and became CEO of Bollinger in 1965.

Since that time, Bollinger has grown from a specialty insurance agency with 7 employees to a well diversified insurance brokerage firm with over 400 employees. In recent years, Jack has spearheaded the acquisition of 40 different insurance agencies and has driven organic growth through new business sales. Bollinger now generates premium volume approaching $1 billion, and is the 19th largest insurance broker in the United States.
