An Eastern Mennonite University graduate is among 10 up-and-coming, young business leaders in the Shenandoah Valley.\u00a0<\/span>Jonathan Coddington, of <\/span>LD&B Insurance and Financial Services<\/span><\/a> in Harrisonburg, was featured in the November 2017 \u201c10 Under 40\u201d issue of the <\/span>Shenandoah Valley Business Journal<\/span><\/i><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coddington came to LD&B by way of connections he made as a business student<\/a> on an EMU-sponsored trip to the Mennonite Economic Development Associates convention in Chicago in 2001. A subsequent EMU-arranged internship in the local hospital system pointed him to insurance work, which he began doing at LD&B more than 15 years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now Coddington manages LD&B\u2019s employee benefits division, which in the last five years has grown from five to 14 employees. Along with his co-worker Carl Litwiller, Coddington developed a self-insurance consortium that now covers more than 70 companies and 6,000 people across the U.S.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe all have bills to pay, but to be able to pay bills while helping others is pretty cool,\u201d he said. \u201cWatching both clients and LD&B grow and thrive has been very satisfying. I\u2019d like to think I play a small part in their success.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Being a manager requires balancing the needs of clients and work teammates \u2013 and work and home life \u2013 but Coddington uses as guiding principles advice he has received from parents, coaches, teachers and mentors: \u201cGet involved in your community, as they will appreciate and reward you for it. Give freely without expectation of return. Do what others are not willing to do. Work hard. Take time to learn each day \u2013 read a book, ask a mentor for advice, step outside your comfort zone \u2013 so you can grow.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

These are things \u201cwe\u2019ve all heard before,\u201d he said, but they are \u201cstill relevant.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Coddington and his wife Christine \u2013 they got to know each other on that same 2001 trip to Chicago \u2013 have four children and live in Rockingham County.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
