About Natale Scopelliti:
My insurance career began over 17 years ago working for a national brokerage firm. I learned a lot working on national accounts but missed that interpersonal relationship aspect of our business. In 2007 I happily came to work for Honig Conte Porrino Insurance Agency, a firm with roots that go back over 100 years. I found my place at Honig Conte through developing long-standing relationships with business owners: through consulting with them and placing insurance for commercial and personal lines accounts, they began to see me as an advisor rather than just an agent.

I take great pride in what I do - I always put in the extra effort needed especially when reviewing an account. No fluff, I want to be seen as an advisor, someone you can always count on for my expertise. The greatest compliment is when existing clients refer me to their friends, family, and network.

Professionally I have earned the designation as a Certified Insurance Counselor and was past President of the Greenwich Village Chelsea Chamber of Commerce. On a personal note, I am a proud husband and father, and enjoy weekend road trips with my family, cheering on my children at dance class or on the soccer field. When I can make the time, you can find me watching a NY Rangers game. I’ve been a fan since I was a kid and I stick with them no matter what! That thankless fan attitude is the same dedication I bring with me to work!
