Our team are here to protect and serve you/r family with respect, care, and understanding.

Let's connect for an insurance journey that embraces nature, inspires service, and fosters community.

As an insurance agent with a love for the outdoors, I find solace in nature through hiking, camping, and fly-fishing. I was born in South Africa, and lived in New Zealand for over a decade, which has given me extraordinary life experiences with wildlife and a deep connection to the natural world.

Though I stumbled into insurance, I fell in love with it. Protecting people from life's unexpected events, and being there in their time of need, is truly rewarding. Now, as an agent, I get to expand my influence and serve a team that shares this mission.

What motivates me? It's quite simple: a genuine desire to serve. There is no greater opportunity to make a positive impact than by helping others. Quotes from influential leaders like Gandhi guide my personal and professional life, emphasizing the importance of personal responsibility, collaboration, and being “the change we wish to see in the world”.

Heartwarming stories of customer success bring me immense pleasure and a profound sense of accomplishment. Whether recognized by customers themselves or witnessing the exceptional work of my team, these moments reaffirm the impact we have on customers’ lives.

Connecting with customers on a personal level is a quality we hold dear, approaching interactions with love and compassion. We create a positive, light-hearted atmosphere while discussing insurance matters, using our 30+ years of experience to communicate complex insurance matters simply and instill confidence in customers.

Our primary goal is to ensure that everyone we interact with walks away with a clear understanding of their coverage and how it works, leaving no room for ambiguity.

Customers need to feel heard, valued, and supported. We create a space for open communication, allowing them to express themselves without feeling rushed. It is about fostering genuine relationships based on care.

Giving back to the community is not just a responsibility but a privilege. By creating a supportive work environment and championing personal wellbeing, mastery, and a sense of duty, our team contributes to the greater good.

Additionally, we actively reinvest profits into climate action, recognizing our role as stewards of resources and embracing the responsibility to make a positive impact. Here are three ways we steward the resources we are privileged enough to receive:

  • Climate Resilience. We fund projects that secure the communities where our customers live.

  • Climate Change Mitigation. We fund high-impact carbon drawdown projects that slow down and reverse climate change.

  • Climate-Focused Tech Companies. We fund startups and companies working on scalable climate change ideas; who also share our regenerative values.

With over 30 years of insurance experience, we bring knowledge, dedication, and a warm, heartfelt approach to serving you.

Let's navigate the insurance world together, fostering an environment of respect, care, and understanding every step of the way.
