We have had the privilege of growing greatly over the past years. We currently have seven licensed agents and one customer service representative that have over 80 years of combined insurance experience. These agents are exceptionally qualified and ready to answer your questions and assist you with all your insurance needs. We are looking forward to growing even more over the next year by offering great products and continuing to offer great service.

Andy Andy is a graduate of Calvin College and has an MA in mathematics from CMU. He is licensed in property and casualty insurance as well as life and health. He was teaching in the Grand Rapids Christian Schools when he founded the agency in 1978. In 1995, he left the teaching profession to devote himself full time to the insurance agency. Although he still enjoys keeping an active role in the day-to-day activities of the office, he also enjoys taking time away to spend with his grandchildren. And when he is not spending time with his grandkids, he likes to play softball, often playing several times a week. Click here to see my meemic.com page

Keith Keith is Andy's son, so he grew up with the insurance business. As a child he was given the job of filing and taking messages at his father's office, which was in the basement of their home at the time. He attended Calvin College and received a degree in Business Administration. He officially started working full time in the office in June of 1989 and obtained his license in Property, Casualty, Life and Health shortly after. He is now the office manager, where he enjoys working with the clients and our great staff. He enjoys time away from the office by golfing, playing tennis, and working on his "fixer-upper" house, which is not so much a joy as a necessity.

Kathy Kathy attended Grand Rapids Junior College where she received an Associate degree. She continued her education at Spring Arbor College where she received a Bachelors degree in Human Resource Management. She previously worked for State Farm Insurance for 6 years where she obtained her licenses in Life and Health, and Property and Casualty. She joined the Steensma Agency in 2001 and has the position of office supervisor. When she isn't at the office she likes to spend time camping or golfing with her husband and two grown daughters.

Nylene Nylene attended Northwestern College in Iowa and then later moved to Grand Rapids in 1969. She started as a customer service representative for the Steensma Agency in October 1996, when the business was still conducted out of Andy's basement. Now Nylene is a licensed agent in Property and Casualty and greatly appreciates our new building, especially the windows! Her hobbies include playing Scrabble, cross-stitching, and baking. But she does like to break loose every once in awhile, like when she went white water rafting down the Arkansas River in Colorado with her husband and son.

Trisha Trisha has an extensive insurance background. She worked for other independent agents before June 2002 when she began working at the Steensma Agency as a licensed Property and Casualty agent. Trisha is now a licensed agent in Property, Casualty, Life, Accident and Health and works with all of the companies our agency offers. When she isn't growing her knowledge of insurance she enjoys cooking, reading and playing with her two beautiful children. She is a huge fan of the Detroit Lions. She continues to believe every year will be the year they will go to the Super Bowl. GO LIONS!

She may work at a desk during the day but she is very active in her spare time. She enjoys Taebo, horseback riding, and the very intense sport of shopping. Christina may have graduated right down the road at Jenison High School, but she has been all over the world.
