Founder, President & CEO
Donnan brings experience in insurance, investment advisory, business ownership and real estate to a practice built around valuable homes, commercial property and the people behind them.
A local resident since 1994 and a Reynolds Lake Oconee resident and member since 2009, he knows this community as an advisor, neighbor and fellow homeowner.
Donnan has worked in farm, commercial and high-value insurance since 2008, including the Atlanta commercial market and accounts throughout Georgia and Florida. He founded R&R Insurance Group in 2010 to combine broad market access with direct personal service. His practice includes higher-value households, commercial real estate, medical and professional offices, builders, artisans, landscapers and related service businesses.
A broader professional perspective
Donnan previously worked as a licensed investment advisor and has owned a residential rental-property portfolio. Along with running his own businesses, those experiences have given him a practical appreciation for property, income, liability and the decisions owners make.
In his insurance work, he connects those questions: how a property is owned and used, what it would take to rebuild, what an interruption could mean, and how personal and business policies fit together. The goal is a clear conversation about the details that matter to each client.
On the water. In the workshop. Out exploring.
Outside the office, Donnan enjoys boating, golf, pickleball, woodworking, scuba diving and travel. A day might mean time on the lake, a round of golf, a project in the workshop or planning the next trip.
Those interests keep the conversation personal. He appreciates the craftsmanship in a custom home, the satisfaction of making something by hand, and the freedom of getting out on the water or discovering somewhere new. He brings that same interest in the details to learning what matters to his clients.
Broad market access. A boutique agency by choice.
We stay small on purpose. You work directly with Donnan Oyler and Kay Blankenship, supported by broad carrier and specialty-market relationships and behind-the-scenes support. Our size keeps the relationship personal while our market access gives us a wider range of placement options.
Licensed across six Southeastern states
Donnan holds insurance licenses in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina and Florida, with experience serving accounts throughout Georgia and Florida.
A practical, coordinated review
Donnan starts by understanding what a client owns, how it is used and where personal and business responsibilities intersect. He helps clients evaluate available coverage, deductibles, policy terms and markets.
Family, community and three dogs
Donnan and his wife, Robin, have two children: Parker, a high school student at Lake Oconee Academy, and Rylee, an LOA graduate and now a senior at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Three dogs round out the household.
R&R takes its name from Robin and Rylee. For Donnan, Lake Oconee is where family, friendships, business and everyday life come together.
