A word from Tanis:
“I grew up in Richlands, Virginia and started working for a Nationwide Insurance agent in 1985 as an office assistant, later becoming a licensed agent. I moved to Newport News in 1990 and continued to work as a licensed agent for two different Nationwide agents until I purchased my current agency in 2003. I live in Yorktown, Virginia with my beautiful family–a son and a daughter who continue to amaze me daily.
“Most folks don’t have any idea how an insurance policy works. Our experienced agents take pride in explaining options and processes, beginning with our very first discussions, so that our policyholders have a clear understanding of how coverages may or may not apply. Setting reasonable and appropriate expectations makes for a happy client relationship.
“In the community, I proudly serve on the corporate Board of Directors for the Boys & Girls Club of the Virginia Peninsula, and support several events each year.”
