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.
Ann and her husband live in the Tampa area. They have three grown daughters and four grandchildren, which keep them very involved when away from work. Ann is a member of the Sacred Heart Church and Elks Lodge 708.
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.
Deanna hails from Tarpon Springs, where she grew up and graduated as a Sponger and attended post-secondary at St. Petersburg College. 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. A trip to Japan started her relationship with Clearwater Sister Cities, Inc., which is a non-profit organization that promotes the relationship between Clearwater and Nagano City, Japan. She served as the Secretary of the Board of Directors for three years and was the master of ceremony at their 3rd Annual Japanese Spirits Tasting Event in 2015.
Outside of work, Deanna loves dancing, all forms of ballroom and salsa, going to the Renaissance Festival in costume, Halloween, and mornings. It’s true. On her bucket list is the chance to sing karaoke in 6 continents. Three down…three to go.

Since then it has transformed the Private Security insurance industry and has been instrumental in properly addressing the high-risk concerns these businesses are challenged with every day.
