We're an independent agency — not tied to any one company. Tell us about you once, and we'll shop trusted carriers to find coverage that actually fits. Start it all online, on your time.

START AUTO QUOTEHomeowners coverage that protects your house, your belongings, and you — at a price that makes sense.
START HOME QUOTESkip the forms entirely. Securely send us your current declarations pages and we'll take it from there.
IMPORT MY INSURANCENot sure which one you need? Start here and we'll point you the right way →
Filling out forms is the slow way. Instead, connect your current insurance through our secure link — it pulls your existing coverage details straight across, so we can compare apples to apples without you typing a thing.
Pick a product, answer a few quick questions, and we'll take it from there. Nothing here takes more than a minute.
A direct company can only sell you their own product. Because we're independent, we compare several carriers at once — and we stay in your corner at renewal and at claim time.
We're not tied to one company. We shop across our carriers to land you the right coverage at the right price — not whatever a single company happens to sell.
Start, ask questions, and get answers by email or text. Hop on a call only if you actually want to. Your time is yours.
A real human handles your account — at renewal, after a move, or when life changes. Not a 1-800 maze and a new rep every time.
Personal lines are our specialty — and we write commercial too.
Cars, trucks and SUVs. Compare rates and keep the coverage you need without overpaying.

Fill out the auto or home form — or just import your current declarations pages and skip the typing altogether.
As an independent agency, we compare options across our carriers to find the right fit and a fair price.

Before helping clients, Ryan learned the business from the other side of the desk — as an underwriter and property claims adjuster for Farmers Insurance Group. So he knows how to tailor coverage to your real situation, and how to fight for you when it's time to file a claim.
A Ferris State business grad, licensed in Michigan and Florida, Ryan is proud to serve the Lake Shore and greater West Michigan — the friendly, responsive alternative to an impersonal 1-800 number.
Part of Shield Insurance Agency — family-run, protecting West Michigan for over three decades and three generations strong.
No pressure and no obligation — here's exactly what to expect.
A quote is just a quote. You're never locked in, and you'll never get a bill for asking.
We only use it to prepare your quote. It is never sold and never shared with anyone but the carriers we shop.
Tell us email or text and we'll follow up however you like — usually within one business day.
Email us any time at Ryanm@shieldagency.com and we'll get right back to you.

It's a secure link that lets you connect your current insurance company and share your existing declarations pages with us automatically — instead of hunting down paperwork or filling out a long form. It's read-only: nothing about your current policy changes, and we only see your coverage details so we can compare accurately.
Absolutely — that's the whole point. Submit a form or import your coverage, and we'll send your options and handle questions by email or text. If you'd rather talk at some stage, we're happy to, but it's always your choice.
A direct company can only sell you their own product. We're independent, so we compare several carriers at once and bring you the best fit — and we stay in your corner at renewal and claim time.
