Welcome Barham Benefit Group

Dimond Bros. is welcoming the Barham Benefit Group from Champaign, IL to Dimond Bros. effective 1/1/2024. With the merger, we are excited to be expanding our team to include James Barham. James has been licensed as a life, health and accident insurance broker in Illinois since January 1986. We are thrilled to have James join our Benefits Team.


When he is not serving his clients, biking or sky diving, James has maintained community focus as a priority. Having served as an elected Park District Commissioner, member of numerous boards, fundraiser, contributor and art gallery owner, his commitment to our community is well known. He has been honored to receive United Way’s Spirit of Caring Award, the Community Foundation of East Central Illinois’ Hearts of Gold Award and the Friend of the Agency award from the Housing Authority of Champaign County. Recently he has been active with the United Way of Champaign County’s Power of the Purse, the Housing Authority of Champaign County’s Youth Build Program, and the World’s Largest Recycled Glass Christmas Tree.

James will remain in his office location in Champaign located at 919 West Kirby Avenue Champaign, IL 61821 and can be reached via phone at (217) 356-1978 and email at james.barham@dimondbros.com.
