By January 2021, Semmer was tapped to help launch the AssuredPartners Construction Practice, alongside colleague Kyp Ross, AP surety president in the Cleveland area. “Four and a half years later, we’ve built the construction practice up with the help of Gregory Stephens, national construction practice leader to about 225 team members, with 35 to 40 offices nationwide that are Construction-centric.” The recent integration with Gallagher in August 2025 promises even greater reach: “When you combine us with Gallagher, we’ll probably have over a thousand construction team members countrywide. We’ll be a force to reckon with in the industry.”
