When Steven’s father left Ohio Casualty to start his own insurance brokerage back in the 1950s, Steven was destined for a lifelong, successful career in the insurance industry. After growing his business acumen at his father’s firm, he would merge the company with fellow industry colleague Jeff Malone. Together, they would create one of the leading privately owned brokerages in Southern California, Malone-Ludwig Insurance Services, Inc. 

At the firm, Steven focused first and foremost on the honest, ethical relationships he formed with each of his clients. His mission would be to provide advocacy that responded to all their insurance needs—from auto and home, to business property coverage and workers’ compensation. 

In 2019, Malone-Ludwig would make the next milestone move for their clients by joining forces with Newfront Insurance. At the firm, Steven provides his clients with the same level of detailed service as always strengthened by Newfront’s power of technology and expansive carrier relationships.

I began my career in the insurance industry while I was a junior at USC, working my way up from the accounting department to commercial insurance, working with business owners and nonprofit organizations to transfer and manage their risks.

I’m a native Angelina, a life long Los Angeles resident and a graduate of the University of Southern California, with a BS in Social Welfare. I have over 30 years of commercial insurance experience, with a sub-specialty in providing insurance and risk management services to nonprofit organizations.

Nonprofit organizations, professional firms, distributors and manufacturers, restaurants, retail, construction and family owned businesses. I work very well with multiple generations, assisting in the transition of insurance from founders to the next generation of management.

I’m driven to build lasting relationships with my clients and partner for their long-term success. I’m proud to be that person they call when they need solutions and answers to protect their businesses.

Through constant learning and adapting, Andrew maintains a deeper understanding of the issues in business his clients face, including insurance requirements nationally and internationally. While at Sacramento State College earning his Bachelor’s in Business Administration, he earned his insurance license and began building client relationships, many of which he still holds today. He then went back for his MBA and took a series of courses on international studies in Sydney, Australia, all the while maintaining his clients in the States. By twenty-one, he built a book of business worth over $1 million in premium.

His tenacity drives him to obtain the best insurance solutions for his clients. For Andrew, this means not just finding the initial coverages, but also proactively staying on top of trends and evolving carrier solutions to find better programs and lower rates year after year.
