Prior to establishing C. Winchell Agency in the basement of her home, at that time, in South Orange, NJ, soon to relocate to the Pocono Mountains in 1992, Cindy gained experience at Snelling & Snelling, Western Temporaries and as Asst. Director of Human Resources at AIG, NYC/East Orange NJ. After meeting her husband Chuck Winchell at AIG, she left corporate America and spent 11 years as Manager of a contingency agency in Woodbridge NJ, before branching out on her own. With the support of her husband Chuck, C. Winchell Agency became a reality. Since 1992, the agency has grown In both placement activity, clients and applicants, with the specialty of INSURANCE RECRUITMENT ONLY.

Unfortunately, Chuck passed away in 2006 suddenly, bringing her step - son Aaron to the front lines of C. Winchell Agency where he remains for over 20 years. He had hoped to "stay behind the scenes" with the Agency, but stepped into his father's shoes willingly and gracefully.

In 2023, CWA Recruiting Services of Florida was established, exposing our expertise to other Regions other than the tri-state NY area. Not to mention, Cindy now owns a home in Florida and splits her time between the Poconos and Melbourne Beach, Florida.

With a full complement of experienced INSURANCE RECRUITERS and support staff, both entities are thriving to this day.
Although Cindy "could retire", her love of what she does, her clients, candidates and staff, she continues to work as hard as ever!

Aaron joined C. Winchell Agency, aka, the "family business" in 2000. After graduating from Montclair University in NJ with a degree in Business and Finance, Aaron wanted to "find his own way". Who better to place him, than his step mom, Cindy?
Entering a college grad training program with Greater New York Insurance, Aaron quickly advanced as a commercial underwriter specializing in Property and HPR risks. After moving onward and upward, Aaron spent time with Kemper Insurance in the World Trade Center and Tower Insurance in NYC.
Once Aaron joined the C. Winchell Agency family, he worked side by side with his Dad handling all of the firm's Accounting, Human Resources and Benefits Administration matters.
Upon the sudden death of his. Dad, Chuck, in 2006, Aaron rose to the occasion with strength and control that the company needed at the time, and he continues to ensure that all financial and accounting aspects, benefits administration and the administration of our 401K plan are handled properly, timely and with no "hiccups" whatsoever.

Aaron is the "heir apparent" to C. Winchell Agency and it's continued success and existence well into the future.
