Seltzer Group Partners Team

Steven Stramara CIC

Steve joined the Seltzer Group in 1989. Initially hired to sell and service personal and commercial insurance products, he quickly proved to be integral to the growth and direction of the agency. Drawing on experiences from employment with the Department of the Army and the philosophy of leadership and teamwork fostered while proudly serving in the United States Marine Corps and Army Reserves, Steve’s dedication to the Seltzer Team and its clients is unmatched.

During the 1990s, Steve implemented and managed the agency’s first information technology system, ensuring improved and more efficient customer service.

In 2003, Steve was instrumental in innovating the risk management first process which led to improved customer outcomes, lower costs, and safer work environments for Seltzer clients. His approach was revolutionary in the insurance industry and provided customers with superior results compared to the traditional insurance process. He quickly gained a reputation as being an expert in Pennsylvania Workers Compensation Insurance and was frequently invited to speak at business, manufacturing, and industry leader meetings. In fact, he was selected to speak before the Pennsylvania Legislature on the topic of Workers Compensation Industry reform.

Steve co-founded and served as president of Keystone Comp Control, a multi-state group of agencies dedicated to improving client results through insurance, human resource, safety, compliance, and risk management strategies.

In 2005, Steve worked with key partners to start Pennsylvania’s first integrated risk management company, East Coast Risk Management and serves on its board of directors. In 2012, he helped establish Keystone Surety Associates, a dedicated bonding agency, and served as its first president and board chairman.

Steve’s forward-thinking nature, vast experience, commitment to learning, and drive to always improve have guided the Setzer Group over the past 30 years. He uses these qualities to lead and inspire the entire Seltzer Team to strive for excellence and demonstrate that same commitment to their clients. He has designed, implemented and managed procedures and processes formulated to benefit clients.

Steve has been recognized by his peers as a leader in the insurance and risk management industries.  He currently serves on the MMG Insurance and Selective Insurance Agents Advisory Boards.  Steve has led the Seltzer Team to national recognition as a Big I / Regan Consulting Best Practices Agency since 2019.

Steve knows that being a good business leader means thinking about more than just business. After volunteering as an assistant coach for the local Special Olympics volleyball team (his wife was the head coach), Steve proposed the idea of a golf tournament to benefit local Special Olympics programs in 1998. It has been an annual event ever since.

In 2019, Seltzer Group Charities Foundation was formed and named Steve as its chair. The nonprofit now provides financial and other resources to organizations supporting individuals with special needs and children.

John Crane

John Crane began working in the insurance business at John J. Crane Insurance Agency in 1983, under his father, John Crane Sr., who started the agency in 1950. Growing up in an “insurance household” allowed John to see and learn all he could about the business firsthand before officially beginning his career. In 1993 the John J. Crane Insurance Agency was officially changed from John Crane Sr. to John Crane Jr.

Over the years, John has found his niche in providing valued insurance to contractors, pizza shop owners, restaurant owners, and real estate investors -or rather, this niche found him. The agency didn’t always specialize in these clients, but John has certainly filled this need in the local market.

John loves most about his career by providing insurance and quality coverage to fellow small business owners. As a small business owner, John understands and has experienced many of the worries, problems, successes, and failures most entrepreneurs face, which means he understands his clients! Things like making payroll, preparing for quarterlies, managing time, facing burnout, and learning how to delegate, are just a few of these issues all small business owners face. But above all, John knows there isn’t a money tree growing in your backyard!

John isn’t a “salesman” and is proud of that; rather, he listens to his clients to find the best solution. Small business owners often have ups and downs, times when they don’t have to work too hard yet have incredible success, and times when they work up to 12 hours a day for long periods of time and still face failures. How do we know this? Because John is a small business owner, too. Being a small business owner–can give you a perspective that few people will understand.

Aside from being an entrepreneur, John is a loving husband to his wife Carol and father to his two sons, Pat, a student at Drexel University, and Sean, a student at King’s College.
