$16 an hour. 1099. No book of business. No base salary. No safety net.
That's where Ryan D. Calloway started in the insurance industry. At 33, he and partner Steven P. Kelly, CBC, put their names on one of Arizona's most distinctive benefits brokerages — Kelly & Calloway Insurance Group — now serving hundreds of employers across the country, from 25 to 2,000 employees. And ABA practice owners should be paying attention.
Here's why: the ABA industry has a retention crisis that benefits strategy can directly address. A $70,000 BCBA offer with a $600 monthly family premium is fundamentally different from the same salary with a $150 premium, but most practice owners have never had an advisor model that shows them that difference or what to do about it.
Kelly & Calloway Insurance Group brings a degree in logistics and supply chain management, along with Six Sigma methodology, to an industry that typically relies on relationship selling and annual renewal conversations. He models the full spectrum of funding strategies —fully insured, level-funded, partial self-funded, captive—for each client, selecting the one that actually fits their workforce demographics and claims history.
Kelly & Calloway Insurance Group operates as a true fiduciary, legally obligated to act in the client's interest rather than the carrier's. The firm doesn't stop at plan selection. It embeds into clients' HR infrastructure — evaluating payroll platforms, lifting administrative burden off stretched HR teams, and building benefits into a retention strategy rather than treating them as cost line items.
For ABA organizations already overwhelmed with credentialing, supervision ratios, and compliance documentation, that's not a vendor. That's an operational asset.
