I grew up in a small town in Northern Indiana and loved being from a small town. I just didn't like the midwest winter and grey days. Living out west was a dream of mine, and I was able to move to Eagle in 2001. I love the small town atmosphere and Eagle is a great fit for me. 

I opened Hood Insurance Agency in February of 2011 after working for several different agencies in both the independent and captive arena. I really wanted to build my own agency that had my personal stamp on it. 

It has always been vitally important to me to build relationships with my clients and create an environment where people feel appreciated and valued. I want to provide my clients with the choices and options that best fit their needs. As an independent broker, I have access to some the best insurance products on the market. That gives me flexibility and options to find the best product for your insurance needs. 

I am a local, hometown agent. I feel as a local business owner I have a commitment to support the community in which I live and enjoy. I sponsor and support a number of different non-profits locally including Eagle County 4-H and The Cycle Effect. I also sit on several different boards including the Eagle Chamber of Commerce. 

When I'm not working, I enjoy river rafting, camping, or hiking with my side-kick, Cowboy, a Border Collie Aussie mix that is 5 years old now. Cowboy grew up under my desk and is part and parcel of this agency. He'll greet you at the door, ask for a little attention, and go back to sleeping under my desk. 

Stop by and say hello, I'd love to get to know you, your story, and help if I can .... or just come by and say hello to Cowboy. He always appreciates visitors.
