Al Welsh Insurance Center in 1980 and made the big move from State Farm to an Independent Agency. My mother was worried. She wasn’t sure that an Independent Agency would be around in years to come but was certain State Farm would be. I took a chance, that was nearly 40 years ago.

The agency has evolved into a large multi department agency through the direction of Phil Fox. Phil purchased Al Welsh Insurance Center in 1981 and the journey began. He has an uncanny ability to see the potential in people and I am very grateful that he saw potential in me. I joined him in ownership of the agency many years ago and together we’ve worked to provide solutions for our customers with their insurance needs and a work atmosphere that helps us retain the best employees. We have had the great fortune of having longtime customer and employee relationships. Even after all these years, I still look forward to coming into the office to help our clients.

Life outside of the office is family oriented. I love spending time with my kids and now grandkids, camping, fishing, hunting and just about anything outdoors.

so I asked my mom for a job (Tammy). I began working at Insurance Centers of America as the assistant account manager to the Commercial Lines Department. During that time I developed our organizational systems for documentation, which we still use today. Then in 2013 I decided it was probably about time I became a licensed agent. After passing the insurance exam I became an account manager, a position I still hold today, and then in 2017 took on majority of the admin responsibilities for our management systems. At 15/16 it wasn’t even a thought to make insurance a career for myself, but I’m glad that’s where life has brought me. I’m a Colorado Springs native and like most Coloradans enjoy the outdoors, micro-brews, and spending time with the people I love!”

I have 3 children, two being grown with their own children. I have lived in Colorado springs since I was 1 year old pretty much a native! Love the outdoors!

While raising my daughters and attending college full-time I studied to become a licensed insurance agent. I quickly earned a spot on the personal lines team as an account manager. I worked closely with my clients to create an insurance protection plan that fit their individual needs. In 2014 I relocated from Taos, NM to Colorado Springs and worked for USAA for a little over 5 years servicing and writing insurance in all 50 states working very closely with military families. In October of 2020 I launched my own insurance agency here in Colorado Springs. The financial devastation of the pandemic did not allow for my business to continue and I made a tough choice to close my doors in February 2021. In May 2021, I joined the team here at Insurance Centers of America as a Personal Lines Account Manager. I’m excited to be working with such honest, knowledgeable, and courteous insurance professionals and look forward to many years with this great company.

In my free time I love camping with my wife Alisa and dog Barney. I also like anything vintage from cars and motorcycles to vinyl records and video games.

Besides insurance, I enjoy the working out at the gym and being outdoors.
