Meet Matt and Michaela: The Couple Behind Relay Insurance Group

A growing family. A teenager getting ready to drive. A house that’s been home for years. These are the everyday moments Matt and Michaela bring up when describing the work they do at Relay Insurance Group.

They’re familiar situations around Lawson—and reminders that behind an insurance question, there’s usually something personal.

The husband-and-wife team behind Relay brings two different sets of experience to those conversations.

Matt has spent more than a decade in real estate and property management. With an active real estate license, a general contractor’s license, and insurance licenses, he brings a practical understanding of buildings, ownership, and the decisions that come with both. His background has involved negotiating contracts, managing risk, and solving problems when the stakes are high.

Michaela’s experience spans insurance, coaching, leadership, and marketing. Connecting with people is a central part of her approach. She wants clients to feel they have someone they can turn to with questions, someone who takes the time to understand what matters to them.

Together, they’ve started and built multiple businesses. They know the work involved in finding customers, earning trust, and taking responsibility for something you’ve created. That experience helps shape the agency they’re building today.

Relay is an independent insurance agency serving Waxhaw and the greater Charlotte area, with personal, auto, commercial, and life insurance options. Working with multiple carriers allows the team to explore coverage that fits different circumstances and budgets.

Their connection to the area extends beyond the business. On their website, Matt and Michaela describe involvement in local youth sports, neighborhood HOA service, and building a small-business networking group. Waxhaw is where they live, raise a family, and build relationships.

That community spirit also shows up in their contribution to Made in Lawson: a mailbox paint and repair kit offered as an Intentional Act of Kindness. It’s a practical gesture that brings their participation right to a neighbor’s front yard.

Getting to know the people behind a local business can start with something small—a question, an introduction, or a conversation about what’s changing in your life. For Matt and Michaela, those everyday moments are closely connected to the work they do.
