My name is Tate Gaines, and I've been in the insurance field since 2014 right here in Covington. I grew up in Loganville, GA. I attended George Walton Academy where I graduated in 2013. From there, I went to Truett-McConnell University as a student-athlete. I majored in Biology/Pre-Med with minors in Chemistry and Christian Studies while maintaining the starting catcher role for the baseball team. While in school at TMU, I worked for Knight and Gaines (formerly Knight and Tabb) on Summer and Christmas breaks and started learning insurance from my now father-in-law and business partner, Scott Knight. After graduating in 2017, I married my wife Meghann in June of 2017 and we now have two daughters. I started working for Knight and Gaines as a receptionist and am now Vice President and name partner. I achieved my Certified Insurance Counselor's designation in 2025 from the National Alliance. I look forward to furthering this agency's impact on our local community!
