Semenza Soars with New Silver State Business - Reno Entrepreneur Launches Brightway Agency Feb. 6

Breaking the sound barrier thousands of feet up in the sky is where one Washoe County businessman first dreamt his life would end up. Although his Top Gun dreams never came true, Zach Semenza will be launching a mission of his own thousands of feet above sea level in Northern Nevada next week.

Located near the Riverwalk, Semenza will be opening Brightway, The Semenza Agency insurance office in Reno this coming Monday.

The Silver State native has spent nearly two decades working in the insurance industry. Now, in 2023, the 41-year-old protection pro will add his own streak to the lights of the world’s “Biggest Little City” with his new addition to the Reno-Sparks Metro business scene on Keystone Avenue.

The 1999 alum of Las Vegas’ Durango High School would work his way through the University of Nevada – Las Vegas where he’d earn a bachelor’s degree in business finance in 2004.

“After learning the ins and outs of customer service while working in service industry outlets during college, I found Northern Nevada as the best place for my family and my business to grow and thrive.”

His more than 16 years of experience in insurance have helped make him the safe bet with Northern Nevada policyholders.

Married for 14 years, Zach and his wife, Mel, and their two children call Reno their home.
