The premium audit industry is a subject Kelly knows well, having started in the mailroom at Atwell, Vogel and Sterling during a high school work-study program in the late 1970's. After attending Lubbock Christian College, he went to work as an audit reviewer with Crum and Forster in Dallas. In 1982, he joined his father's business, Crowell & Associates, Inc. where he began his career in the premium audit industry. Over the years, Kelly has not only been involved in the training of staff auditors; he also develops and conducts numerous workshops for agents, insured’s, associations, and insurance companies.
In the past, he served fifteen years as an officer with the Insurance Auditors Association of Dallas; and fifteen years as an officer for the Insurance Auditors Association of the Southwest and served two terms as President. He is in his fourteenth year on the board of National Society of Insurance Premium Auditors, holding the Administrative Assistant position to the President, two years as the 2nd Vice President and two years as Senior Vice President. He also served two years as President, one year as past President, three years as the Editor, three years serving on various committee chairs and is currently a Regional Vice President. He has received the Auditor of the Year award for the Dallas (twice) and Southwest Associations, the President’s Choice Award from the IAASW, the Betty Gerdes Award from NSIPA, as well as the President's Award from NSIPA (twice) and the National Business Who's Who award. Kelly has produced a cartoon called AuditEd for the NSIPA Newsline for over 12 years.
Kelly’s favorite thing to do is spending time with his wife and sons (Alesha, Kennedy and Drake). They take a very active role in their church coordinating kids programs. They enjoy entertaining in their home, from small dinner parties to large gatherings. They have a cat named “Rosie”, and a dog named “Maggie". Their hobbies include landscape and gardening around their small farm, collecting old memorabilia, concerts, plays, movies, photography and Dallas Mavericks basketball games.
