Tom grew up in north Tacoma, about three blocks from the University of Puget Sound (UPS).  As a child he rode his tricycle around the office desk in the basement of their home while his Dad worked to grow the business. Tom began learning insurance terminology around 8 years old and started assisting with files at age 14.  During his tenure at the University of Washington Tom majored in Risk and Insurance. He spent his college summers meeting with clients and entered the family business full time in August of 1965. He now has 52 years in the insurance business.

"It's been a great career," he says. Tom enjoys the opportunity to help clients understand their insurance needs, calm their financial concerns and most importantly, help with any claims that might develop. "We are selling peace of mind. If we can assure our clients have the proper coverage at a proper price, we have met our goal." Tom is not a specialist in any one particular area of insurance but takes pride in being well versed on all insurance coverages. He is able to help clients analyze their risk to determine what risks they wish to insure, assume or avoid. 

Tom enjoys water skiing, running, and hiking, especially when the sun is shining. He and his wife recently celebrated 50 years of marriage and are proud parents and grandparents. In his spare time, Tom volunteers on boards for the YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties and MultiCare Health Systems. Each month, he also takes photos for Kiwanis Terrific Kids elementary school program as well.

 As the daughter of a Military man, Peggy grew up in various parts of the US. They spent time in Norfolk, VA and Fontana, CA, then settled in Kitsap County, WA in her childhood. She resides in Pierce County now. In search of a better job than being a waitress at a small cafe, at 18 years old Peggy visited the office next door which happened to be an Independent Insurance Agency. In 1979, Peggy earned her Property/Casualty agents license. Then in 1996, she became a Property/Casualty Broker. Peggy has been in the insurance industry for 47 years now. Her primary focus has been property and casualty insurance for commercial and business clients. "Every day is different and challenging in a new way," she says, "Keeping it fresh and interesting. My first love is helping others and by being an insurance interpreter (as I often refer to myself) is one way I do that." 

Peggy enjoys camping with her husband and his horses. Whenever possible, they visit with their 14 Grandchildren. Family is so important to Peggy. In her spare time, you may find her cooking, crocheting or reading a good novel. She supports the American Cancer Society.
