Hello, my name is Jennifer, originally from Ohio (a Buckeye), my husband, Keith and I made the move to North Idaho in 1998. We absolutely love Coeur d’Alene! We have 2 children, ages 17 and 20, and I feel so very fortunate to be raising them in this area. We play hard in the sun and the snow. Life is good! I have been with NWIA for well over a year now. Our personable local office is an environment I appreciate being a part of. I am enjoying the industry and all I am learning – something new every day! I really like sharing my knowledge and the importance of insurance with my clients. I would welcome a visit from you any time with questions, concerns or just for a peace of mind in regards to your insurance needs.

While not a lot is known about Gus' early years, he sure has made a big impression on his co-workers and clients. Being a "Rescue Dog", he can often be overheard telling people he rescued his owners. Gus may be a bit shy at first, but he is loyal, well-intentioned and, frankly, the "Goodest Boy" we know!
