Linda Shipman
Agent's Executive Assistant
License #8036503
As Steve likes to say, Linda is his "first wife" or his "favorite wife," although, in reality, she is his only wife. Steve and Linda met in college, where Linda earned her degree in business administration. They’ve been married since 1974, so Linda has always been around and involved in the office. For most of those early years, Linda focused on raising their two children, but when their youngest went off to college, her career truly began.
While Linda is licensed to assist you with auto insurance and home insurance, her main role is Office Manager. She handles payroll, pays bills, manages supplies—essentially anything that isn’t directly related to insurance.
Since many of our customers are friends or have become friends of Linda's, she really enjoys seeing them when they visit the office and loves to help whenever she can. Please feel free to stop by or give us a call; we’re here to help make life go smoothly!
