Family and friends range around the tri-county area of Pinellas, Pasco and Hillsborough, and Deanna has enjoyed becoming part of each of these fantastic parts of Florida. She has also spent several years in Spain, speaks pretty good Spanish and has traveled more than a little in Europe, South America and Asia.

I have been in the insurance business for over 25 years. I have spent the majority of my career in an agency. I love working in an agency where I can build client relationships.
In my free time I love spending time with my family and friends listening to local musicians. My husband and I have raised three amazing children. We are proud of the adults they have become and they are the light of our lives.
Carole has worn many hats throughout her insurance career of 30+ years, at both the agency and company level, from manual rater to Senior Underwriter and Trainer. She has worked at other agencies and for large companies such as MetLife, USAA and AAA. She holds an Associate in Underwriting designation and has a 220 license.
While she appreciates the benefits and advancement opportunities that a large company offers, she prefers the more informal atmosphere of an independent agency where there’s a more personal relationship with customers and more flexibility in structuring an insurance plan to fit each client’s needs.
Carole lives in Oldsmar with her husband Paul who is retired. She has 2 step-sons and 5 step-grandchildren. She enjoys reading and keeping up with current events. She is a pop culture and trivia enthusiast and her husband can’t believe she has not yet taken the Jeopardy! test to become a contestant. Although she has no pets at the moment, she grew up with and has owned cats for most of her life and has a soft spot for all God’s creatures. She has been active in her church, Lutheran Church of Our Saviour, for many years, and has also done volunteer work at her local library.

Joe prides himself on working with multiple charities throughout the Bay Area. His favorite charities include working for many local animal shelters. When not solving policy problems for clients, Joe enjoys playing softball on the city of St. Petersburg recreational softball teams. He looks forward to meeting and speaking with both new and existing clients soon.
Ann worked in accounting for many years with her father. Her first insurance job was with POE & Associates, as a Customer Service Representative (CSR) in the Bond and Liability Department.
After taking time off to raise her girls, Ann went back into the accounting field with a local Engineering Firm. During her employment at the Firm, Ann took advantage of the OJT continuing education courses and learned a lot about Employment Practice Liability, which rekindled her interest in insurance. Ann enjoyed being a CSR, but was excited to get her 220 Agent license and be more involved within the insurance industry.
Professional Insurance Services welcomed Ann in June of 2012. Her knowledge and experience is an asset to the company. “Working at a local agency allows you to get to know your clients and build business relationships, which I believe is valued by both parties”. Ann specializes in writing auto, home, flood, boat, and umbrella insurance for the agency.
