2008-05-19 23:57:49 -

- The San Francisco Bay Area Agency, a local office of the MassMutual Financial Group, today announced that Tony Delumen, a fourth-year agent, has earned the title of Top Premium Producer over all 4400 MassMutual Life Insurance Company agents nationally.

Delumen was recognized for bringing in the most money in premiums for MassMutual of all the agents in the company. He is also the top 4-year agent for both premiums and policies.

"Tony has come up through the ranks of our agents and he continues to out-do himself," said Robert Fakhimi, General Agent of the San Francisco Bay Area Agency. For his superior performance and achievements during his first year as an agent, Delumen earned the prestigious Freshman 5 award, given to only five MassMutual first-year agents nationally each year.

"We are very proud of Tony's award as the competition for Top Producer is indeed intense. He couldn't have achieved this honor without being a top financial services professional who brings dedication, intelligence and overall client concern to his work."

Delumen's award continues the top achievements of the overall SF Bay Area Agency. Recently the Agency was honored with the MassMutual National Chairman's Trophy for performance in 2007, the fifth time the San Francisco agency received the award in the last six years. The award is a reflection of an agency's accomplishments in revenue growth, recruitment and productivity.

"We foster a professional environment where clients come first," Fakhimi said. "My team supports our professionals with the best resources and training they need to reach their highest potential, and to help clients meet their financial goals."
