Bill Shively can confidently recount the common threads that tie together the business ventures that have occupied his adult life.
From success in Florida with the Tower Hill Insurance agency that was initially founded by his father, to producing several blockbuster movies and then purchasing and renovating Dixiana Farm in Lexington.
“I’m a probability and statistics guy. I’m a risk evaluator,” Shively told the Herald-Leader in early March. “That’s the best way to describe risk, right?”
These sentiments have held true for Shively’s latest venture, one that’s already reshaped the professional and youth sports landscape in Central Kentucky.
