Proudly Honoring:
Benjamin Markan
Partner, Remco Agency

Benjamin has dedicated nearly two decades to building meaningful relationships with his clients, coworkers and professional network. He is an owner at Remco Agency, an independent property and casualty insurance agency, where his journey began in 2008 with a clear focus: helping people protect what matters most. That foundation has remained constant as his expertise evolved from serving individuals and families to now specializing in commercial insurance, always finding the most comprehensive coverage for the best pricing for clients while managing parts of the agency’s operations.
A graduate of the University at Buffalo, Benjamin’s commitment extends far beyond his professional life. He has been a steadfast supporter of individuals and nonprofits, including his decade-long dedication to New Ground, a Long Island organization that breaks the cycle of homelessness for veterans and families. From serving on their Young Professionals Board to contributing donations of clothing, furniture, and vehicles, Benjamin’s support reflects his belief in showing up for causes that create real change.
At the heart of Benjamin’s life is a simple truth: experiences matter more than possessions, and people are everything. His friends are family, and he prioritizes time with them above all else. Whether attending concerts, hiking mountains in search of breathtaking views, relaxing on beaches, or traveling the world learning about other cultures and places, Benjamin finds fulfillment in adventure and the connections that make life meaningful.
