Our Story
Doug Wenz got into insurance because of a claim of his own. Lightning struck his car, and the claim that followed was a nightmare. Afterward he said, “I just don’t want other people to feel that way.”
Before he was licensed, he called the mortgage people he had worked with and asked if they would send him business. They said yes. He knew their complaint about insurance agents: they never answer the phone. So he set himself apart by picking up.
When someone sent him a small account nobody else wanted, he took it. It did not pay much. The person who sent it remembered who picked up. He has been an agent since 2017, writing home, auto and business insurance. He has never paid for marketing. Our clients come to us through referrals.
Doug and Shane Thorsteinson were friends who did business together in esports before they worked on insurance together. Doug sent Shane a video of something he thought could save him hours. Overnight, Shane sent back a prototype he had coded. That grew into AURA, the software our agency runs on, a separate company built by the same founders.
They opened the agency on August 1, 2026. AURA handles much of the paperwork an agency runs on. That leaves our people more time to pick up the phone and look at your coverage.
