Meet Lisa
In Lisa's words...
I started off in the Insurance & Securities industry in 1988. I came into the industry as a young adult, interested in learning and helping teach people how to protect their family's assets - and save for their retirement year. In 1989, I joined Town & Country Insurance and attained my Property & Casualty license. A short time later, my husband Tim & I bought a retail store, which we ran together until 2002.
In 2003, I returned to Town & Country Insurance in the Accounting & IT role. Today, I am once-again licensed in Property & Casualty and I assist in training new employees and overseeing the daily operations.
When I am not at work, you will find me alongside my husband gardening, traveling, riding bike, tending to our chickens, and spending time with our three granddaughters. I am also passionate about learning more about God, and I love to attend bible study.
One of my many favorite sayings is "you always have a choice."
I am proud of...
- After being a licensed agent since 2003, I received my Certified Insurance Service Representative (CISR) designation in 2019! This helps me to better understand our customers' needs and apply that knowledge in employee training.
- Serving on the Pine Habilitation and Supported Employment (PHASE) board of directors since 2007.
Real customers.
