Since purchasing HIA in 1982, he has developed the company into a nationally recognized entity, which operates today as one of the largest and most successful insurance brokerage and services firms in the United States.

In addition to Hamilton Insurance, Alan developed two innovative technology companies – Servarus Corporation and ServarusRM, a risk management services company focused on claims reduction and cost containment. With over 35 years of industry experience, Zuccari is widely regarded as an expert in nursing homes and leaders across various industries including government entities often seek his professional advice.

Zuccari has been recognized throughout his career with numerous awards including the Million Dollar Round Table Award, Top of the Table Award, and the Golden Eagle Award, among others. He is actively engaged in the community, donating to the DC Readings for the Blind and Dyslexic and has previously served as President of the Alderson Hospitality House, a non-profit organization providing housing for family members of incarcerated women.
