About Mark

Mark Wood is an agent with OneTrust Insurance Partners LLC, the independent property and casualty agency at 543 Cox Rd in Gastonia. He holds the Certified Risk Manager (CRM) designation, and most of his work is commercial insurance for businesses across North Carolina and South Carolina.

The CRM is built around risk management rather than policy sales: identify the exposures, control what can be controlled, and finance what is left. In practice that means Mark starts with your contracts, your subcontractors, your vehicles, and your property before he talks about premium. It is also the foundation of OneTrust’s risk management consulting.

Because OneTrust is independent, Mark can take one submission to more than 25 carriers and place it where the appetite actually fits — which matters most for the classes that captive agents and online quotes handle badly.

Where Mark spends most of his time

• Contractors — general liability, workers’ comp, and the certificate and additional-insured requirements in your contracts
• Landlords & lessor’s risk — apartment, rental, and commercial building owners
• HOA & condo associations — master policies, D&O, and board protection
• Auto service & repair — garage liability and garagekeepers
• Convenience stores & gas stations — property, liability, and fuel exposures
• Personal insurance — home, auto, and umbrella for business owners and families who want everything in one place
