Hi, my name’s

Parks Pennington

Sawyer Penn was born from legacy—but built through experience. Founder and CEO Parks Pennington grew up in Dyersburg, Tennessee, in a family rooted in the insurance business. From an early age, he learned the importance of taking care of clients and operating with honesty, integrity, and care—values that still guide the way we work today.

Now, we’re building something of our own: Sawyer Penn, named after his daughter and inspired by a commitment to family, faith, and doing things the right way. With a relationship-first approach, Sawyer Penn is here to protect what matters most with honesty, integrity, and trust that’s earned.

This isn’t just insurance. It’s our legacy. And it’s just getting started.
