Jim Vennen

I started in the Insurance business in 1993, marketing life insurance directly to individuals and small businesses over the phone.  Over the next ten years, I built an agency that also provided Auto, Home and Commercial Insurance to our clients.  My son and I helped thousands of families and small business owners with their insurance needs.  I turned my agency over to my son in 2003. My focus turned to Health Insurance and Living Trusts.  As a result, my clients have been well protected against serious financial loss.

My greatest satisfaction is my 42 years married to my wife, Flo. My son, Erich, was born while I was stationed in Germany  and my daughter, Tamara, born at the Air Force Academy,  is now a Veterinary Tech. My three grandsons keep us busy and young.

I grew up in Ohio, learning solid values that I  practice to this day. Music has been my passion since I  was in school.  Following in my father’s footsteps, I worked in a factory first.  Needing to advance, I attended Wright State University before joining the U.S.Air Force.  I served as a Combat Photographer in Southeast Asia and as the photographer for Tuskegee Airman General “Chappie” James at NORAD, Cheyenne Mountain.  For the second half of my Air Force career, I served as a Nurse Recruiter and Officer Recruiter. In 1983, our Springfield, Ohio office was the best U.S.Air Force Recruiting office in the nation.

When I retired  from the Air Force, we moved to Colorado and started a retail kiosk operation.  Flo’s career focused on Human Resources with Kmart.  After years of successful careers, our passion to serve others led  us to insurance, helping our son with his career and raising a grandson. Along with being professional grandparents, I am active in our church with an emphasis on Crown Financial Ministries and Flo excels at visitation and hospitality.

Today, I am focused on helping families make the right decisions to protect their physical and financial health.  Introduction of Health Savings Accounts has created a tremendous opportunity for individuals and businesses to lower the cost of their health care, receive a generous tax break, and save money for future medical expenses.  By introducing market competition into the medical marketplace, HSAs will force doctors and hospitals to begin posting their prices and competing for their customers’ business.  As anyone with a basic understanding of economics can tell you, competition leads to lower prices and higher quality for all.

Too often, government programs encourage dependence and discourage personal responsibility.  Health savings accounts reward people for saving for their future, and further reward them for taking care of their health.  The person that puts aside money in their HSA and then doesn’t use it will be rewarded with tax deductions, tax-deferred growth and a savings account that can be used to pay medical expenses during retirement.  I am a big believer that individuals should take greater responsibility for their future, instead of relying on the government “nanny” to take care of them.

I believe that HSAs are the best thing to happen to healthcare in a long time.  They save people money, encourage responsible behavior, and  force the medical providers to compete for our business.   Our mission is to find our clients the best plans that meet their needs, at the lowest premiums available, and to make the process easy.  By helping you save money and have peace of mind, we expect to continue to earn your business for life.
