Fred Daniel Sr. had been working for a Tulsa judge when he noticed the need for providing protection for business and families.  Fred Daniel & Sons was founded to help fulfill this role.  Fred Daniel Sr. was extremely involved in the insurance industry, serving as President of the Oklahoma Association of Insurance Agents, Inc. from 1941-1942 and was the State National Director in 1944.   

Following in their father’s footsteps, Fred Daniel Jr and his brother William joined the agency in 1951 and 1955 respectively.  Fred Daniel III joined the agency in 1982 and his brother, John Daniel, joined the agency in 1989.  Fred Daniel Jr eventually took over and continued as President of the agency until two years ago when it was passed on to Fred Daniel III. 

In 1986, Jim Ruley owner of Jim Ruley & Co., an agency that specializes in individual and group benefits, partnered with Fred Daniel & Sons.  This partnership established Fred Daniel & Sons as a full-service insurance agency with an in-house benefits department.  In 1996, Greg Ruley, a Certified Financial Planner, joined Jim Ruley & Co.

The Agency continues to operate locally in Tulsa with clients in nearly all 50 states.
