Welcome to Glenn Neasham - OxyboostH2O
At first thought, an insurance planner and an enhanced bottled water company owner/entrepreneur wouldn't appear to have very much in common. After all, insurance planners are thought of as being extra cautious with money — and entrepreneurship is rather risky, no matter what the type. However, in this case, the two go together quite well because they describe the very same person — Glenn Neasham.
Yes, Glenn Neasham is both an insurance planner and an enhanced water company entrepreneur. What's more, in his case, it makes perfect sense. He makes both businesses work quite well, independent of each other. Looking at Neasham, he pretty much makes it all seem easy—even though he is really working very hard with both the Neasham Financial and Insurance Group and his OxyboostH2O! company.
For Neasham, working on more than one business endeavor seems to come naturally. He has almost always had more than one business project going on at the same time or more than one company for which he was the owner or major operator. He handles responsibility like that well, and people trust him to get the job done—this is why he has been so successful.
His Neasham Financial and Insurance Group has been in business since 1987. Through those years, he has built up a clientele of hundreds of satisfied people. These are people for whom he has helped to build financial futures. These are people for whom he has helped to plan estates and retirement strategies. These are people Neasham has helped to avoid probate, to avoid paying more than necessary in taxes, and to protect their assets from market risk. As a Certified Senior Advisor (CSA), Neasham has had a great deal of experience in working with people and their assets, and he has hundreds of satisfied clients to prove it.
While working with the Neasham Financial and Insurance Group, Neasham also took on another business project — newspapers. Not reading them or recycling them — owning and operating and publishing them. Neasham purchased and operated two for several years. They were the Citrus Heights City Times and the Goldriver News . At the Goldriver News , he tried his hand at publishing as well. He found the world of journalism to be very interesting, and he stayed on with these businesses until he sold them in 2005 when he moved back to Lake County.
After letting go of the newspapers, Neasham was still with the Neasham Financial and Insurance Group, of course. However, he soon began another business endeavor — this time, it was the OxyboostH2O!.
He had always had the idea of becoming an entrepreneur in the bottled water business in the back of his mind. When he was growing up, his father had 660 acres of land. On that property were three wells, and those wells produced between 1000 and 5000 gallons of water per minute. Per minute! As can be imagined, that had quite an impact on a younger boy. The images were never far from his mind.
So, when he was watching CNBC in 2006 one day and happened to see a Vitamin Water executive on the Donnie Deutch show, that did it. Once he heard that man talk about how much success his company was having, Neasham knew he had to build his enhanced bottled water company—now. He founded his company in late 2006, and the product — OxyboostH2O! — launched in February 2007.
These days, Neasham divides his time between the Neasham Financial and Insurance Group, OxyboostH2O!, and, of course, his family. His wife, Tonya, and his three children, Logan, Emily, and Katelyn, are quite important to him. Between the three — the insurance company, the water company, and his family — Neasham keeps quite busy most of the time.
