Insuring Your World Since 1924

The people of The Dearborn Agency have been delivering a tradition of value to customers for more than 80 years. From our management staff, to our agents, to our support staff, each member of our team works together to find ways to minimize risks and maximize assets, and provide personal attention to each of our customers.

Leading the Charge

Our vision is to provide a level of customer service never experienced in the insurance field.
To maintain a management culture that is action-oriented, always flexible, and never bureaucratic.

 

Sandi Daniels, CIC, AAI, President

Dearborn resident since 1990. I started in the agency file room in 1988 and have worn many hats along the way. Scared mother to a newly driving teenage boy. “Glass is always half full,” and always working to fill it more.

Wendy Beever, CIC, ARM, AAI Vice President

An insurance professional since 1987. Previously, served her country as driver to the colonel in the 1st Cavalry Division of the United States Army (yes, the cavalry still needs drivers). Always working to elevate the customer experience. Married and has a daughter who is getting old!

Jessica Juracek, CIC, CISR VP of Operations

From insurance processor to supervisor and co-owner. Loves competition and sports. Hates losing. Self-described “new age cat lady” who enjoys quiet time with her 40 chickens.

Kimberly Gibas, CIC, CAWC Sales Manager

My insurance career started in 1993, bringing me to where I am today: happily customizing insurance programs for family-owned and closely held businesses in South East Michigan. My spare time is filled with family, my three dogs, and gardening. Fire Up Chips!

Movers and Shakers

To be tough-minded, disciplined, demanding, self-critical, and yet supportive of each
other and the team.

To be known as a high-quality business–not just an insurance agency–with an unquestioned reputation for integrity.

Nick Chapekis, CIC, CRM Agent

20 years in the insurance industry. Former small business owner and public relations professional. Ambidextrous in commercial, personal, life, and health insurance. Go Blue!

Frank Lopetrone, Agent

I am interested in making a positive difference in every person's life. My extensive skill set(s) and deep-rooted experience across divisions has allowed my vision to consider and problem solve from every angle. I believe that change is constant, and I will work hard to help make our world a better place; together!

Aaron Lawn, Sales Department

A transplant to Michigan by way of Virginia, and a proud Navy Veteran. My passions are volunteering with the American Legion, traveling with my wife, spending time with my family and my two miniature schnauzers (Winnie & Frasier). I will work diligently to help find an answer to your questions before they become problems.

Tom Sewruk, Agent

Enjoys bowling with his grandkids, fishing, and taking care of his family.

Weekdays, all about client services. Time off is for church, her hubby and two dogs. “You are what you think about.”
