When Tarra began her career in the insurance industry 14 years ago, she had no idea what was ahead of her.  But now she can’t imagine doing anything else!

She enjoys developing relationships with her customers, whether it’s a young couple just starting out, or established business owners maintaining and growing their companies.  Tarra’s proud to be known a sustaining resource to her clients, improving lives, while finding solutions from personal to commercials lines.

Tarra and her husband, Richard, have been married 24 years and have raised two boys, Christopher and Ethan.  They all enjoy friends and family, even if it’s just “hanging out” or playing games.

Tarra’s hobbies include traveling, kayaking at the lake in the summer, or working on art projects at home, (while listening to her favorite audio books!)
