About Us

^{What We Do}
Our Story

Our roots trace back to the early 1980s during a tumultuous period known as the farm crisis. In Belle Plaine, our family faced challenges that tested our resilience. Greg's dad, Dale, was tirelessly working on the farm, while his mom, Jo, balanced a 9-5 job at an auto dealership. Despite their efforts, making ends meet was a constant struggle.

It was during this time that Jo was introduced to the financial services industry through the Aid Association for Lutherans. An unexpected suggestion during an interview led Dale to consider a career in insurance. Initially, he dismissed the idea, but fate had other plans. A few years later, he was approached again, this time by a property casualty company, and decided to take the leap. Dale and Jo juggled the demands of the family farm while tirelessly building their agencies throughout the late 80s and 90s.
