CEO
“I’m dedicated to all of our agents, to make sure they have the best tools available so that they can make fast better decisions and become better business owners. ”
“Happy are those who dream dreams and are willing to pay the price to make those dreams come true.”
Chris Fernandez has worked in Affordable American Insurance since it started. Chris has developed tools for AAI that has put the company at the forefront of technology in the industry. I’m dedicated to all of our agents to make sure they have the best tools available to make fast, better decisions and become more successful business owners.
Data and technology are essential in this industry. With data, you can make the right decisions to efficiently and effectively grow your agency. Technology with automation helps give you the structure to increase your bottom line. Still, if you do not have the data to know what decisions to make or the technology to help get you the information and help you scale your business, it won’t be easy to grow your business to the top of your dreams. We began AAI so that we can give business owners the ability to achieve their dreams.
Chris has a Bachelor of Science (BS) Advanced Business Analytics degree and a Bachelor of Science (BS) Information Technology degree.
When I’m not working, my favorite thing to do is play with my three amazing kids and spend time with my wife, Kelly.

Tony Fernandez
Chairman of the Board & Chief Strategic Officer
“Insurance agents have a huge responsibility. How we present insurance products and offer available coverage can change someone’s life.”
We founded AAI on the principles of support, systems, training, carrier access, and a team environment to get an agent operational easier and faster than the competitors. The idea was that NO agent should be an island inside a group struggling on their own. Our basis continues to be the same: Our commitment is to the agent’s success; if the agent doesn’t succeed, AAI doesn’t succeed.
Tony Fernandez has worked in the insurance industry for 25 years. He started selling insurance in 1996 with a life and health company. After that, he became an American Family agent. In 2004, having lost hope in captive insurance agencies, he founded AAI to offer insurance agents an environment to thrive as independent agents. Tony is passionate about helping people. In addition to insurance, he invests time and resources in helping children in the Dominican Republic and Haiti by sending medical supplies and equipment to local hospitals.
Tony strives to learn and share his concepts with others. He has a Bachelor of Science (BS) E-Commerce degree, an MBA, and is currently pursuing his Ph.D.
In his free time, Tony spends as much time as he can with his wife Lissa, their two grown sons, and three grandchildren. He loves to travel and all things outdoors; skiing, hiking, boating, all the benefits of living in Colorado.
