Greg Hatcher started The Hatcher Agency from scratch in September of 1990 with a loan from the bank, an assistant, and 500 square feet of office space. He signed a 3 year lease on that 500 square feet of office space thinking that would be all he would ever need. At the end of the first year he had outgrown his office space had grown to 7 employees and produced more insurance in his first year of business than any agent in the state of Arkansas. Three years later in 1993 The Hatcher Agency was named Arkansas' Small Business of the Year by Arkansas Business and The Hatcher Agency was the largest health insurance agency in the state of Arkansas. Greg and The Hatcher Agency have been the number one producer since leading the state of Arkansas in health insurance sales every year since they started business in 1990.

Greg graduated in 1983 from Alma College with a degree in Public Relations. While at Alma he was President of the Student Body, lettered in soccer, wrestling and baseball, and was named the schools Outstanding Graduate and the TKE Fraternity's Top Fraternity Man for his local Chapter and Nationwide. Following graduation he coached baseball at Notre Dame University for 1 year before going to work for Arkansas Blue Cross Blue Shield. In Greg's 7 years at Arkansas Blue Cross Blue Shield he was named the Account Executive of the Year a record six consecutive times before leaving to start his own agency in 1990. In 1999, Greg wrote the book 55 Steps to Outrageous Service, which is a book outlining the service that The Hatcher Agency delivers everyday to their clients. This book has sold over 15,000 copies to date and The Hatcher Agency has grown to a business with 30 employees, over 500 group clients, and over 50,000 insured's. Because of his Outrageous Service philosophy Greg and The Hatcher Agency have earned numerous awards and recognitions including lifetime status in the Million Dollar Roundtable recognizing the top 3 % of life insurance producers in the country and a lifetime Golden Eagle Award winner by the National Association of Health Underwriters recognizing the top 1% of health insurance producers nationwide.

The Hatcher Agency is the Top Producer currently for eight different insurance companies in Arkansas and has led the state in health insurance sales every year since they have been in business under Greg's leadership. In addition, The Hatcher Agency has been named Arkansas Business of the Year in 1993, Arkansas Business' Most Philanthropic Company in 2006, and has been named by Arkansas Business as the Best Insurance Agency every year they've done the survey. Recently Greg was named the Distinguished Alumnist by Alma College and was inducted into the Alma College Sports Hall of Fame.
