Chief Tail Wagging Specialist

My name is Otto, and I’m excited to introduce myself as the newest member of the Elder Agency family.
I’ve recently accepted a very important position around the office as the Chief Tail Wagging Specialist, and while I won’t be answering the phones or writing insurance policies, I do have one very important job…
Making sure everyone who walks through our doors feels welcomed, appreciated, and treated like family.
From the moment I arrived, I could tell Elder Agency was a special place.
There are smiles at the front desk.
Neighbors helping neighbors.
Friendly conversations.
And a team that genuinely cares about the people they serve.
That’s exactly the kind of place I wanted to call home.
For nearly 90 years, Elder Agency has been helping families, businesses, farms, and individuals throughout the Upper Peninsula protect what matters most.
While many things have changed since 1936, one thing never will…
People always come first.
That’s something I can really wag my tail about.
Whether you’ve been with Elder Agency for decades or you’ve recently joined our family, I want you to know something important.
You are never just a policy number here.
You’re a friend.
You’re a neighbor.
You’re part of our community.
