Gwen serves individuals, families, and small business owners across Northern Colorado—including Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor, Timnath, Wellington, Berthoud—and Southern Wyoming.

Before joining State Farm, Gwen earned national recognition as a Top 3 advertising sales leader in Northern Illinois and downtown Chicago.

Gwen began her State Farm journey in 2006 by launching a scratch agency in Belvidere, Illinois. She then advanced into a leadership role in North Milwaukee, consulting with dozens of State Farm agencies to implement effective practices and systems for delivering exceptional service. In 2020, Gwen returned home to the Rockies, handpicked by State Farm to assume ownership of a well-established 45-year agency in Fort Collins—continuing a legacy of trusted protection in the community.

Her background also includes a successful career in broadcast journalism, where she developed clear, practical communication skills that she now applies to helping people understand insurance and protection.
