Meet Our Team
We are here to serve you!
What is our WHY?
- I started a business to help my community and am blessed to hire a team that has the same passion for serving as I do.
- I was raised by my grandmother who got early onset dementia at age 50. Seeing her struggle to understand all of the options available and changes yearly gave me the passion to help other families in the same situation.
- I have always believed that helping others through EDUCATION and treating each customer like we would our most precious family member is the only way to run a business.
- It turns out I am pretty nerdy (I was actually presented with an award "America's biggest Insurance Nerd")and I love learning and understanding how insurance works.
- My son is Active Duty Navy (Aircrew) and my daughter is Active Duty Army. Service is what we know and love. Let us serve you and your family and friends.
- We care about health - Physical, Mental, and Spiritual!
- We care about you - we truly care about you and your family and support the things that matter to you in your local community!

Pamela Cripe Advisor Since being in the insurance industry for over 10 years, I have found I enjoy sharing my knowledge and helping clients understand the complexities of the industry. I always hated insurance until I was actually taught how to understand it and that is what I want to do for everyone. In my spare time I enjoy hiking, DIYing, teaching art and just plain creating. Fall is my favorite time of year as I enjoy God's beautiful colors, warm days and cool evenings. I have two adult sons, one daughter-in-love, and two foster children. |
