President, Coyle Insurance
Growing up in a “Caterpillar family,” Pete Coyle has lived in several states and on two continents. When he graduated from Eastern Illinois University, Pete was only sure of two things: that he would have no part of the insurance business, and that he would not live in Peoria. Despite these early notions, he has done both—rising to the top of the insurance industry and returning to his Peoria roots, where he lives with wife Katherine and daughters Katy and Maggie.
Today, he is President of Coyle Insurance—a local company built on the principles of providing superior customer service and quality insurance solutions for their customers. Having earned the Certified Insurance Counselor (CIC) designation in 1987, he has been involved with that organization for over 20 years.
