Email: rayjr@tp-agency.com
I was born and raised in Henderson, NC, and have been proud to serve this community for nearly three decades. After graduating from North Carolina State University in 1990, I started The Pegram Agency alongside my father, building a business rooted in trust, service, and dedication.
With 29 years in the insurance industry, I’m still excited every day to help my customers navigate their insurance needs. Having lived and worked here my whole life, I understand the unique challenges our community faces, which allows me to provide tailored solutions that truly make a difference. When disaster strikes—whether weather-related or otherwise—I take great pride in being there to help my clients recover and rebuild.
Outside of work, I’m happiest when I’m outdoors. I love hunting, particularly deer and turkey, because it gives me the chance to immerse myself in the sights and sounds of nature. Recently, I was talked into getting a pontoon boat, and now I can’t imagine a free weekend without being out on the water with my family. I also enjoy playing golf and, over the years, have developed a real passion for cooking and grilling—especially when it brings loved ones together.
Giving back is important to me, and I’ve been involved in church-related volunteer work for years, including supporting the Men’s Shelter and the Acts House. Being active in my community and helping others is something I take to heart.
At The Pegram Agency, we’re here to provide peace of mind, and I’m honored to be part of that journey for so many families.

Hi, I’m Donna! I was born and raised in Vance County and graduated from Vance Senior High School in 1986. My journey with The Pegram Agency began in May of 1999, and I earned my Property & Casualty license in August of 2002. With over 26 years of experience, I’ve built lasting relationships with our clients and love helping each and every one of them with their insurance needs.
What excites me most about my work is the opportunity to meet new people, build relationships, and ensure our customers feel protected every day. I also love being part of such a great team here at The Pegram Agency—we truly work together to take care of our clients.
Outside of work, my world revolves around my family, especially my three wonderful grandkids—Addy, Tate, and Lainey. I’m also grateful to live close to my mother. When I’m not spending time with them, you’ll likely find me outside working in my yard, enjoying the fresh air. My perfect weekend includes family gatherings, cooking, and watching ballgames and races.
I’m always here to help and look forward to continuing to serve our community with the same care and dedication that has kept me in this industry for so many years!

Hi, I’m Kimberly! I was born in Pennsylvania and moved to North Carolina with my family when I was 12. I’ve been part of the insurance industry since 2006, when I earned my Property & Casualty and Life insurance licenses, and I’ve been with The Pegram Agency ever since.

What I love most about my work is meeting new people, building great relationships, and helping clients find the best coverage to fit their needs. Insurance is about more than just policies—it’s about providing peace of mind, and I take pride in doing that for every client I serve.
Outside of work, my world revolves around my family, especially my grandbabies! Being a "Nana" is my greatest joy, and I absolutely love spoiling them. At home, I spend my time with my fur baby, Elliemae—who, just like my grands, is spoiled rotten. My weekends are all about family time, making memories, and enjoying every moment with the people (and pets) I love most.
I’m always here to help and look forward to continuing to serve our amazing clients at The Pegram Agency!

I started in the insurance business when I joined The Pegram Agency 25 years ago. I was born and raised in Henderson NC and hold an Associates in Arts degree from Louisburg College.
What most excites me about my role is building relationships with our clients. Being there for them in a time of need is very important to me.
Personally, I really enjoy family time with my husband Terry and our three daughters Chelsey, Tara and Josie. Chelsey and husband Wrenn recently had our first grandchild, Haegan which I can’t stop thinking about.
Weekends are for relaxing, spending time with the family, watching movies and eating ice cream. I absolutely love Christmas music and Christmas movies and enjoy both all year long!!!
I regularly volunteer as part of my church involvement. I am a children’s Sunday School teacher, member of the Womens Ministry and really enjoy visiting our shut-ins and widows.

Hi, I’m Tracey! I was born and raised in Henderson, NC, and have spent the past 30 years building my career in the insurance industry. As the Operations Manager at The Pegram Agency, I specialize in personal lines and love being part of a team that helps protect what matters most to our clients.
What excites me most about my work is the relationships I get to build. Insurance is more than just policies—it’s about being there for people when they need us the most. I take great pride in providing that support and making sure our clients feel secure every step of the way.
Outside of work, you’ll most likely find me on the water—whether it’s at the lake or the beach, that’s my happy place. I also have a passion for shopping (a little retail therapy never hurts!) and am a huge hockey fan. When I’m not enjoying the water or catching a game, I love tracking down a great concert to enjoy live music.
I’m grateful to be part of The Pegram Agency and look forward to continuing to serve our clients with experience, care, and dedication.

Email: kenny@tp-agency.com
Born and raised in Henderson, NC, I’ve spent over 35 years working with local businesses and building relationships in the community. With 10 years of experience specializing in commercial insurance, I enjoy helping business owners find the right coverage solutions.
Every business is unique, and I love the challenge of putting all the pieces together to ensure my clients are protected. The best part? Hearing their gratitude when we find the perfect fit.
Outside of work, I’m all about family. You’ll often find me at the ballfields or gyms, cheering on my grandkids. I also have a deep appreciation for the outdoors, whether I’m working in my yard (I’ve become quite the grass enthusiast!) or hitting the golf course—though these days, I find myself admiring the beauty of the course as much as playing.
Music has always been a big part of my life. Growing up in a musically talented family, I learned to play several instruments, but my passion has always been the drums. Recently, I had the opportunity to play at my church, which has been incredibly fulfilling.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me at home tending to my yard, at a ballgame, or lending a hand to those in need. My family believes in giving back, and we regularly volunteer at our local men’s shelter, cooking and serving meals to those in need. Helping others is at the heart of what I do—both in my work and my personal life.

I also love growing my own food—there’s something so rewarding about seeing the fruits of your labor come to life. In addition to family time, I’m passionate about giving back and enjoy volunteering with the Girl Scouts alongside my granddaughters.
I look forward to continuing to serve our clients at The Pegram Agency and helping them feel secure every step of the way!
Customer Service Representative
Although I have only been with The Pegram Agency for a year, I am enjoying my employment with The Pegram Agency. They are dedicated to their customers as well as their employees.
It has been a pleasure to get to know our clients.
I bring my skills of 26 years of Purchasing and Customer Service from my previous employers.
I have been married for 50 years. I have 2 sons which have blessed me with 8 grandchildren that I love dearly. I enjoy spending time with my family.
My interests are reading and beach vacations. I am a Sunday School teacher for the Junior Class. I enjoy the challenge of this age and the surprises they can bring. I also enjoy working with Seniors of our church.
Agency Mascot
I am originally from San Diego CA, yes I’m a Cali gal’. Ray, Peggy, Zachary, and Elizabeth Pegram had me flown in July 1st of 2017. The move east has been great for me and my new family has treated me with open arms since I’ve arrived. I have no formal education however I’m capable of receiving treats if I “perform” certain tricks that have been taught to me. If you could not tell yet, I am indeed a lemon beagle which generations past has meant that I chase rabbits with a bunch of other family members.
However, since I have been “domesticated” I only chase squirrels in my yard when I feel up to it. Fortunately for me, I’m cute as a button and generally able to get whatever I want. However, humans figure out quickly that I’m a thinker and considerate of others. I am a loyal loving companion that likes everyone, especially young kids. My enjoyment comes from “lap snuggling”, playing with my toy duck, patrolling the perimeter of my yard for any intruders that I can intimidate, and pontoon boat riding that mainly occurs on the weekend. I truly enjoy snuggling and sleeping on the couch with any of the Pegram’s as they make me feel right at home (that I run by the way).

Outside of work, I’m all about spending time with my family and friends. I also have a bit of a guilty pleasure—putting together puzzles! It’s something I love to do to unwind and challenge myself. But if you’re looking for me on the weekends, there’s a good chance I’m at the beach, soaking up the sun and enjoying the ocean breeze.
I’m excited to continue learning and growing in this industry and look forward to helping our clients with their commercial insurance needs!
