Ruskin FL
Hi, I’m Steve Turner, and I’d like to be Your Insurance Agent and Broker serving residents of Ruskin FL.
For many years, I’ve been helping neighbors (like you), in Ruskin FL, find insurance plans that meet your individual, family, and business needs that are Affordable (Cheap). Which types of insurance can I assist you with?
Why choose Steve Turner Insurance Specialist?
Because I’m an “Insurance Specialist“. An “insurance specialist” is a broad term encompassing insurance agents and insurance brokers, but the key difference lies in who the agent represents versus who the broker represents.
An “insurance agent” works directly for an insurance company, selling their specific policies to clients.
An “insurance broker” acts as an independent intermediary, comparing policies from multiple companies to find the best fit for their client’s needs, essentially representing the client rather than the insurance company.
I am both a licensed Insurance Agent and a licensed Insurance Broker.
My number one goal in life is to help people and ensure, without a shadow of a doubt, that you and your family are secure and protected. I will always be by your side, helping you mitigate risk by providing the industry’s best and most affordable insurance solutions.
I will find insurance plans for the entire family to help cover whatever life throws at you. I can help you save on severe medical emergencies, find a health insurance plan with low-to-no-cost doctor visits and affordable prescription medication, and protect your family in the event of an unexpected accident or illness.
Best of all – it doesn’t cost you anything extra to use an experienced Insurance Agent and Broker like me to help you find the Insurance Plans that fit your individual, family, or business needs.
The companies that sell the insurance plans “you choose” pay me – you don’t pay me. Calling any big insurance company directly won’t result in your getting a lower price, as they will forward your call to the next available insurance agent on their list. You won’t have had any opportunity to learn about the insurance agent you’re speaking with in advance to understand their qualifications or experience level and make an informed choice about who you want to work with.
Scroll down to the Contact Me section below and get in touch with me by phone, email, or schedule a “No Obligation” chat through my calendar. I look forward to speaking with you!
Ruskin FL
Of course. Ruskin is one of the most intellectually fascinating communities in Florida, a place founded on a utopian ideal that has since evolved into a vital agricultural heartland for Hillsborough County. I see Ruskin as the historic and cultural anchor of the county’s “SouthShore,” a place with a rich past that is now navigating the challenges of explosive modern growth.

A Utopian Dream on the Little Manatee River 📚
The story of Ruskin is unlike any other in the region. It was not founded by a railroad magnate or a land developer, but by idealists. In 1908, a Chicago-based lawyer, professor, and social reformer named Dr. George McAnelly Miller, along with his wife Adeline, purchased land on the north bank of the Little Manatee River. They were devout followers of the English writer, philosopher, and art critic John Ruskin.
The new community was explicitly named in honor of John Ruskin, and it was founded on his principles of social justice, cooperative labor, and the integration of art and work. The centerpiece of the colony was Ruskin College, a co-educational institution (a very progressive idea at the time) where students worked on the community farm to pay for their tuition. The colony attracted artists, writers, socialists, and intellectuals from all over the country who sought to build a more equitable society. While the original utopian colony eventually succumbed to internal disagreements and financial troubles by 1919, the town and its intellectual spirit remained.
From Utopian Colony to Agricultural Hub 🍅
After the college closed, Ruskin settled into a new identity as a quiet, rural farming town. For most of the 20th century, its economy was driven by the rich soil of the surrounding area. It became particularly famous for its produce, earning the nickname the “Tomato and Onion Capital of the World.” This agricultural identity is still at the core of Ruskin’s character. In recent decades, it has also become a major center for aquaculture, with numerous tropical fish farms that supply the nation’s aquarium industry.
Today, Ruskin is a community in transition. The historic “Old Ruskin” still exists near the river, but the wider area is experiencing a massive boom in suburban development. Large, new subdivisions are rapidly being built on former farmland, transforming the once-quiet town into a bustling bedroom community for Tampa and Sarasota. It is an unincorporated Census-Designated Place (CDP) governed by Hillsborough County.
