POWER OF ATTORNEY
	Know all by these presents, that I do hereby appoint
David M. Cleff and Elise M. Clarke, and each of them, as my true
and lawful attorneys-in-fact to:
(1)      prepare, execute in my name and on my behalf, and submit
to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a Form
ID, including amendments thereto, and any other documents
necessary or appropriate to obtain codes and passwords enabling
me to make electronic filings with the SEC of reports required by
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any rule
or regulation of the SEC;
(2)      execute for me and on my behalf, in my capacity as an
officer and/or director of State National Companies, Inc. (the
"Company"), Forms 3, 4, and 5 in accordance with Section 16(a) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules
thereunder;
(3)      do and perform any and all acts for me and on my behalf
which may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any
such Form 3, 4, or 5, complete and execute any amendment or
amendments thereto, and timely file such form with the SEC and
any stock exchange or similar authority; and
(4)       take any other action of any type whatsoever in
connection with the foregoing which, in the opinion of such
attorneys-in-fact, may be of benefit to, in the best interest of,
or legally required by, me, it being understood that the
documents executed by such attorneys-in-fact on my behalf
pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and
shall contain such terms and conditions as such attorneys-in-fact
may approve in his or her discretion.
     I hereby grant to such attorneys-in-fact full power and
authority to do and perform any and every act and thing
whatsoever requisite, necessary, or proper to be done in the
exercise of any of the rights and powers herein granted, as fully
to all intents and purposes as I might or could do if personally
present, with full power of substitution or revocation, hereby
ratifying and confirming all that such attorneys-in-fact, or such
attorneys-in-fact's substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do
or cause to be done by virtue of this Power of Attorney and the
rights and powers herein granted.  I acknowledge that each of the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in serving in such capacity at my
request, is not assuming, nor is the Company assuming, any of my
responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.
     This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect
until I am no longer required to file Forms 3, 4, and 5 with
respect to my holdings of and transactions in securities issued
by the Company, unless earlier revoked by me in a signed writing
delivered to the foregoing attorneys-in-fact.
     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of
Attorney to be executed as of this 23rd day of February 2016.
