ABOUT ME:

We’re glad you are here! If you want insurance to be easy and protect what you need it to- you’re in the right place! We are honored to be your local insurance agent providing coverage for individuals, families, and businesses.

Before starting my career as a State Farm Insurance agent, I attended Fort Hays State University in Fort Hays, Kansas earning a degree in finance. Early in my working career I was in management in the tire industry and high-end furniture. Those experiences helped me learn the important value of relationships and something I value in my business each day.

My wife is from a small farming community in Eastern Montana and has lived in Montana all her life. She concluded her professional career as an elementary teacher twelve years ago and enjoys her greatest role of “Grammy”. We have two grown daughters, one of which works here in our office. We are fortunate they both live close and we are able to have an active role in our grandkids lives. As a small business, it is also important to us to be a family business.

We are licensed to serve all of Montana and our office is proud to serve the entire Flathead Valley community (Columbia Falls, Whitefish, Kalispell, Bigfork, Evergreen, Kila, Marion, Hungry Horse, Coram and West Glacier)- reflecting this in our employment practices, our community involvement, and our core beliefs. Our team is here to help you get the coverage you need to help protect what matters most to you, including Auto, Home, Life, Renters, Pet Insurance, and more. We will help you navigate your options and personalize your coverage to fit your unique situation. We look forward to meeting you!

Q: What are the insurance requirements on a leased car?

A: Leased vehicles typically require more coverage than the state minimums. In addition to liability insurance, leasing companies usually require comprehensive and collision coverage, and you may need to list the leasing company on your policy as an additional insured or loss payee. Lyle is proud to serve the Columbia Falls community.

Q: Do you have to have home insurance?

A: Whether homeowners insurance is required depends on your situation and may vary by state. If you have home financing, your lender will likely require it. Even if it's not required, many people choose to have coverage to help protect their home and everything that comes with it. Serving Columbia Falls and the surrounding area, Lyle can help answer your questions.

Q: What is renters insurance?

A: Renters insurance is a policy designed to help protect your personal belongings and provide liability coverage while you're renting a home or apartment. It focuses on your possessions and potential risks, rather than the building itself, which is typically covered by your landlord's policy. For personalized coverage in Columbia Falls, MT, reach out to Lyle.

Q: How does a life insurance policy actually function?

A: Life insurance provides a payout to your beneficiaries if you pass away while the policy is active, helping offer financial protection. Have questions? Lyle in Columbia Falls can walk you through your options.
