Meet Kortney LeDuc.
Before entering the insurance industry, she spent over 30 years in dentistry and 7 years as a hospice caregiver. Those experiences shaped the way she works today—they taught her the importance of listening, educating, and meeting people where they are.
I know insurance can feel complicated and overwhelming, so my goal is to make the process easier to understand and a lot less stressful. I work with individuals, families, self-employed professionals, and small businesses to explore health, life, dental, vision, and supplemental insurance options that fit their needs and budget.
I believe insurance should be personal, not transactional. I take the time to understand what matters most to each person I work with, explain their options clearly, and help them make an informed decision without feeling pressured.

Meet Heather Schofill.
Meet Heather Schofill, a dedicated Life & Health Insurance Broker who believes insurance is about much more than choosing a policy, it’s about protecting the people we love.
Heather’s passion for insurance comes from personal experience. At just 35 years old, she almost lost her husband after a stroke caused by a carotid artery dissection following a routine chiropractic visit. That experience gave her a firsthand understanding of how quickly life can change and how important it is to have the right protection in place before the unexpected happens.
Today, Heather takes a personalized, client-first approach to insurance. She takes the time to listen, understand what matters most to each client, and help them find coverage that fits their needs, their life, and their budget.
For Heather, insurance isn’t simply about a policy. It’s about helping people protect the lives they’ve built and the people they love most.
