Henry Lewis, founder and CEO of Henry's Bail Bonds, has been in the bail bond business for nearly two decades.  Trained by the late Mr. Leo Ickhard, Henry became the owner of Inland Bonding -- which grew to be one of the largest bonding companies in Seattle under Henry's solid leadership.  He is now repeating that successful formula with Henry's Bail Bonds.  He gives credit to Leo for his success, stating:  "Leo was like a father to me, he taught me the bail bond business and was an inspiration; a living example of the spirit of Martin Luther King and a wonderful friend and mentor."

Henry learned about the business of bail bonds from Leo -- but he also learned something else very important -- to treat the people in trouble with dignity, respect and compassion.  It is a lesson Henry learned well and one that is echoed by his entire agency staff...to take extra care and time with those incarcerated as well as helping their friends and families during the stressful process of getting their loved ones out of jail.  Henry's long and varied career as a bail bondsman has been very effectively documented on the the hit T.V. series "Bounty Hunter" and his well-earned reputation for honesty and fast service precedes him everywhere he goes.

One important addition to the business is Henry's wife, Renee Curtiss-Lewis, a licensed bail bond agent as well as general manager of Henry's Bail Bonds.  However, Henry and Renee are more than just an excellent bail bond agents, they are also deeply involved in the local business community.  In addition, they work with disadvantaged youth, support charities, and are involved in local and national politics. Henry is very active in preserving the memory and music of Jimi Hendrix and he hosted an annual birthday party for Jimi at the Ballard Firehouse for many, many years before the Firehouse closed its doors.
