August Felker is the founder and CEO of Oberle Risk Strategies.  Oberle is a forward-thinking, innovative insurance agency serving a national client base from its home base in St. Louis, Missouri.

August’s journey in insurance began in San Francisco in 2003, where he worked in the large account group of an international insurance brokerage – helping to manage the insurance programs for several of the Bay Area’s most-prestigious technology firms.  Following that experience, August launched a search fund and acquired Murphy Insurance Group, an independent insurance brokerage based in Madison, WI.

After leading that Murphy Insurance Group for five years, August merged with Hub International, the largest privately held insurance brokerage in North America.  At Hub, August served as the CEO of WI. 

August launched Oberle is 2019 and is thrilled to have the opportunity to build an independent, client-focused insurance brokerage in his hometown of St. Louis.  August’s father, grandfather, and great grandfather all owned insurance agencies in Saint Louis.  He is married and has four kids, and loves spending time outdoors.
