Born and raised in Chandler, AZ. I married my Highschool sweetheart and we just celebrated our nine year wedding anniversary in 2020. We have four children that keep us on our toes and constantly laughing. It truly takes a village to raise children, and we are very grateful for the community that we live in.
Marrying my best friend and having the opportunity to raise our children in our hometown. My family is my passion!
When I am able to use my abilities to affect those around me positively. I hold to the truth that “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” - Will Durant
Alexander the Great. My namesake has always intrigued me. Tutored by Aristotle at the age of thirteen, he went on to create one of the largest empires of the ancient world by the time he was thirty. Alexander not only was undefeated in battle, he grew to become one of the most influential people in history.

I grew up in the small town of Fountain Hills where Brokers Alliance is located. Fountain Hills is known for having one of the largest man made fountains in the world and can shoot up to 560 ft in the air. My family and I are very close! My brother and I have lived together since 2010 and just recently sold our property and went our separate ways. We still maintain family dinners weekly to stay close.
My goal for every workday is to leave it all on the table. If I walk away knowing that I did, it was a success.

Parker Adams
Agent Relationship Manager, Exclusive Lines
I am the Marketing Director for our Exclusive, Proprietary Lines Division here at Brokers Alliance.
Arizona Native. Peoria specifically. I have a small tight knit immediate family that means everything to me but have a good amount of relatives in Oklahoma and Texas.
I don’t know if I have one particular accomplishment I am the proudest of. However, my little Brother’s High School Graduation is one of my proudest moments.
I was told along time ago that when it comes to life as long as you are doing the best you can as much as you can, nothing can be considered a failure. So as long as I’ve done the best I can as much as I was able to, I consider the day a success.
My Grandfather, Charles Cramer. He died when I was really young and as a grown man, being a direct descendant, hearing his insight and perspective I feel would be extremely rewarding.

Logan Hornback

I was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky- home of the Kentucky Derby, Louisville slugger, and Muhammud Ali! I have a very close knit family and when we aren’t vacationing together, we’re relentlessly teasing each other. I have a son named Harlan and I am engaged to be married next March. Family is my motivator!

Carrie Trammell
Agent Relationship Manager
I live in the heart of West Texas where Friday night Football rules and Rodeos are a way of life. I am the proud mama of a blended family of 5 children (4 girls, 1 boy) and Mamaw to 1 grandson and 1 granddaughter.
I look at the conversations I had with agents. If I was able to represent BA professionally and with a strong belief in what we do then I was successful.
I despise starbucks so we would have to meet somewhere else :-). Dolly Parton, I want to know how she has managed to handle the criticism early in her career, managed to become one of the wealthiest self made women in the U.S. and still maintain her positive outlook and hang onto a kind heart.

Tye Dutcher
Agent Relationship Manager
I am an Agent Relationship Manager which means I get the opportunity to talk and relate with agents so that I can serve, add value, and increase the success of their book of business.
I was born and raised in Central Valley (California) in a small city called Merced. I have four older siblings that all swam and played water polo growing up and then they all joined the military. One of my goals growing up was to follow in their footsteps and serve my country too.
Life took an unexpected turn for me when I lost my foot at 11 years old in a devastating lawn mower accident. Determined to not give up after this tragedy and turn it into a story of triumph, I swam throughout high school, went pro in swimming after, and earned my spot on Team USA competing in the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games achieving the goal of serving my country. Many would think that this is my proudest accomplishment, but marrying my wife Emma, having a soon to be baby, and living my life for the glory of God is what it’s all about.
If I was able to influence or inspire at least one person, then I’ve achieved success.
I’d like to meet anybody for a cup of coffee! Let’s go right now!
- Have a wife
- Own a home
- Start a family
I think I’ve achieved all of those and I’m beyond grateful every day.

Agent Relationship Manager
Agent Relationship Manager.
I have the opportunity to fulfill one of my dreams of helping others build their agency and accomplish their goals, both professionally and personally! I am privileged to be challenged with the task of teaching people that “Do or do not, there is no try.”
I was born and spent most of my young(er) life in Arkansas. This is also where my wife and I got married. My wife is from Costa Rica and is way above my league. How we got married is still a mystery to me! We had our 2 sons, Nathan and Abraham, in Arkansas but moved to Florida a few years later where we had our daughter, Jazmin. We spend a lot of time making sure our children understand our culture and the cultures of others around them, especially the culture found throughout the Bible.
When I was in 6th or 7th grade I wrote a paper to my English teacher about what I wanted to accomplish in life. I wrote that I want to be a good dad, a good husband, and I want 3 kids; 2 boys and 1 girl. My wife and I are getting ready to celebrate our 10 year anniversary! I currently have 2 older boys and a younger daughter whom I am incredibly close to! There is no greater accomplishment than having my children and already accomplishing my lifelong dream! Now my goal is to help others accomplish their dreams!
There’s a quote that stuck to me from one of my favorite TV series, The Office, that goes, “If you can put your name on this day, and be proud of the amount of work you’ve done, then, by all means, you should toodle on home.” Everyone is different and has a different level of accomplishments because we all have different types of struggles. Summing it up to one measurement is impossible. Finding that balance for my family and feeling good about the work I did that day is how I measure my daily success. Not too much work but not too little.
There are so many people I could mention here. I think I would greatly enjoy speaking with Jules Brunet (1838-1911). But, instead of coffee, I would drink some non-caffeinated tea. I would want to know what inspired and motivated him to be such a great strategist and leader among multiple different cultures of people.
- Attain at least 2 Series Licenses and specialize in Foreign investments.
- Get a degree in Meteorology along with my oldest son so we can fuel our hobby (and hopefully his career).
- Walk my daughter down the aisle of her wedding with a man that is after God’s heart and wisdom!
John Williams “Star Wars (Main Title)” Symphony Orchestra! This song has been a pleasure to listen to in my own home for many years now. We are big fans of the Star Wars Universe and it’s amazing to see that Universe get bigger and bigger! All 3 of my kids learned to hum this song before they could even speak!


Sloane Coleman
Agent Relationship Manager
I’m a part of the sales team as an Agent Relationship Manager! I get to chat with and help agents successfully map out the most ideal path to meet each of their client’s needs.
Born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky. I love being in a larger city surrounded by beautiful nature, I hope to raise my own family here one day, too! I am engaged to my high school sweetheart and so excited to get to marry him while surrounded by all our favorite people in late-November of this year.
I know it sounds cliche, but I am so proud of the relationships in my life. I have a great circle of friends that have supported me for years, a big and loving family that has my back through it all, and of course, my soon-to-be husband, Jake, that motivates me more than anything. I feel the relationships you keep say a lot about a person, and I am proud to be represented by the people in my life.
I will put forth as much effort as is needed to solve as many problems as possible, so as long as I have made someone’s day easier, I am happy.
I think I would have to put my Nana in a room with Julie Andrews… they are too similar for me to believe they may not be the same person. Plus, who wouldn’t want to hear the angelic voice that made ‘the Hills come alive’?!
My bucket list has many levels- some are easily attainable, others may take some work to reach, haha. I want to travel the world with my soon-to-be husband (10 different countries before having children, ideally), become a GREAT drummer, and my biggest goal is to start a big, happy family to share my successes with.
