About Daniel Austin

I help people protect what matters most—while building teams that love what they do and agencies that thrive because of it.Since 2011, I’ve been with Allstate, starting in sales and working my way up to owning one of the top-performing multi-location agencies in East Tennessee. Today, I lead The Austin Agency across Knoxville and Maryville, where our focus is simple: protect families, empower staff, and grow with purpose.
