OUR TEAM

CO-FOUNDER

Sierra Knight Magee, co-founder and co-owner of Knight Magee Insurance, is a Richmond native and graduate of University of Richmond. Sierra brings years of experience in the insurance industry, along with prior experience in contract law and management.

Sierra started her career in 2007 as an insurance agent for Liberty Mutual where she gained valuable experience and built a solid reputation as an insurance expert. In 2011, she joined forces with Kate Magee to start Knight Magee Insurance. The two envisioned an agency where customer service was #1, along with a consultative approach to insurance. Today the agency represents multiple carriers and prides itself on having no allegiance to one company, but instead to each client and what is in their best interest. In addition to operating Knight Magee Insurance, Sierra has partnered with Smart Choice a national network of over 7000 agents to help mentor and support agents looking to start or grow their own business.

“I decided to become an independent agent because I wanted to be able to tailor my products to my client’s needs. Our agency has built solid relationships with top quality carriers and we are committed to working for our clients. Any agency… can provide you with an insurance quote, but at Knight Magee Insurance we believe it’s our responsibility to not only offer competitive products, but also offer you the best service, service you can count on! I am committed to working to find you the best product at the best price and being there for you every step of the way.”

Rion grew up outside Jamestown, NY and attended Niagara University in Lewiston, NY for undergraduate work, and then Carlow University in Pittsburgh, PA for masters work in creative writing. Family brought Rion to Virginia, and the weather in Richmond is more than enough to dissuade any more moves! When not working at Knight Magee Insurance, Rion keeps busy as a published novelist, audiobook narrator, freelance editor, and obligatory wait-staff for a very pampered cat.

“Since I set foot in the industry, insurance has fascinated me. It’s my ultimate goal for each and every client that I make their interactions with both our agency and their provider at large as painless and easy to understand as possible. I’ve always made providing ‘Incredible Customer Service’ a goal in any job I take on, and Knight Magee Insurance is absolutely no different. Growing up, my family’s insurance agent treated me like family before I could even drive; I strive to bring that feeling with me to Knight Magee Insurance as well.”
