About Us

Frank Harris founded the Northwoods Corporation in 1972. The business functioned under the name Potter, Harris & Tiftickjian, until 1981 and was renamed to Potter, Harris & Scherrer honoring our current President Jack Scherrer. From our beginning in downtown Williamsville, New York, we have enjoyed steady growth and have become recognized as one of the leading agencies in Western New York. We have earned our reputation for professionalism due to the special attention we give to the needs, requirements, and details of our clients.

Our number one goal is to deal with our community and public fairly, honestly, and respectfully. We accomplish this by providing educated, knowledgeable, and service oriented employees to help our clients. The Northwoods Corporation is a professional organization dedicated to providing the best insurance protection at the most reasonable price.
