🐾 The Story Behind GuardPoint Advisors
If you have looked at our logo, you have already met Ryder, our family’s German Shorthaired Pointer. In the field, a pointer’s entire purpose is to lock in, cut through the noise, and point you in exactly the right direction. That is the exact philosophy I used to launch GuardPoint Advisors, LLC. Following a successful 27-year career helping build a local legacy agency, the business was sold. I realized that the best way to truly serve my clients was to step out on my own and build a fully independent agency from scratch. I’ve always loved the "underdog" scenario—there is nothing more rewarding than standing by a client's side on Day 1 and watching their family or business grow securely over the years. As a lifelong Minnesota resident, GuardPoint is my way of delivering absolute clarity, uncompromised data protection, and premier market access to the communities I call home.
⚖️ Real Protection Tailored to Your Real Life
My advisory style is built on real connection and shared experiences. When we look at your protection plan, I dive into the details—the specific coverages required for your exact hobbies, toys, and lifestyle. Whether we are finding the perfect multi-line auto and home package for your growing family, or helping local artisan trade contractors protect their hard-earned livelihoods, I treat your portfolio as if it were my own. It’s why our agency proudly maintains an elite 90% client retention standard; our clients stay because they know they are genuinely protected.
🏡 Roots, Rallies, and the Great Outdoors
When I am not auditing policy forms or negotiating client claims with carriers, my life is fully centered around my family and the incredible Minnesota outdoors. My husband and I are kept beautifully busy running between our eldest daughter’s volleyball tournaments and our youngest daughter’s competitive dance competitions. As a family, we are happiest when we are completely unplugged—spending our weekends camping, riding ATVs, fishing, working in the garden, and enjoying quality time together. I understand the risks you face because I live them right alongside you. Whether you need to secure your business, protect your home, or cover your weekend toys, Ryder and I are ready to point you in the right direction.
