About Bob Olson Twelve years ago, Bob Olson, State General Agent in Illinois and Indiana, went from owning a home remodeling sales company to building his own business with American Income Life Insurance Company. And it has been a very rewarding experience for him. If he had it to do over, would Bob do anything different? “I’d have started when I was 18 years old.” In 2000, he was the #4 Master General Agent in the Company and the following year was the #1 Regional General Agent. Bob joined AIL because of the leads and the opportunity for advancement and knows he made the right choice.
