Our History

Since our establishment in 1926, we’ve been located in various locations from the Putnam Building in downtown Davenport to the 100 block of Kirkwood Boulevard in central Davenport. In October of 2016, we moved to Utica Ridge Road in northeast Davenport, where we are the major tenant in a spacious, newly constructed building.  In addition, we opened our Galesburg office in October 2016 to support our growing client base in Western and Central Illinois.  We are poised for additional growth.

Now operating as a third generation agency, we continue to be a business that works tirelessly for our clients. With nearly 50 employees, we have grown into one of the largest independent insurance agencies in our Eastern Iowa/Western Illinois region.

We could go on, but here is what it means for you:
  • We’ve developed strong relationships with clients and companies over the course of our existence, creating true partnerships. These relationships are the foundation of our agency and are crucial when it comes time to work for you.
  • We are passionate about our work.
  • We have a reputation for doing things ethically.
  • We are financially sound and well positioned for the future.
  • We have staff members who are experts in various industries, continuously pursuing more knowledge across all topics related to the risks you face.
  • We continue to grow to meet the needs of our clients.
  • We have positively interacted with the community and given back in the form of contributions to charities as well as our time and effort to causes we believe in.
  • We’ve had fun along the way, because, let’s face it, if we didn’t what would be the point?

Our Community

The Quad Cities metro area includes the communities and surrounding areas of Moline, East Moline and Rock Island in Illinois, and Davenport and Bettendorf in Iowa. More than 27,000 businesses including John Deere World Headquarters, Arconic, Kraft, Exelon and a major military installation - the Rock Island Arsenal - call the Quad Cities home.
​
Through time, money and service we’ve strived to make the Quad-Cities area a better place to live and work. Our 'Trumps & Tricks' Charity Euchre Event has been and continues to be our annual signature event for close to 20 years. The success of this event, which has raised more than $250,000 for local nonprofit organizations, is due in large part to our employees who volunteer their time and talent. Our core belief has always been to give back to the community.
