About | Schield Insurance | Local Insurance Agency

Welcome to Schield Insurance

Schield Insurance was founded in 2013 by Travis Schield. Formerly a co-founder and top producer at Schield-Leavitt Insurance Agency, Travis saw the opportunity to serve his clients once again with a client-centric focus. His entire mission is to provide a consultative approach to insurance, making it easy for his clients and placing their interests first. This is made possible by his affiliation with the largest independent agency alliance group.

As a firm, they strive to protect their clients' assets by addressing complex insurance needs through the development of innovative, customized insurance programs. By tailoring each program to an individual client, Schield Insurance provides significant value each and every time. Because of their ability to write policies with over 30 insurance companies, Schield Insurance closes 99% of the accounts they quote. This is due to their talent in creating innovative plans to mitigate risk, match clients with the right carriers, and lower premiums by an average to 20-30%. Clients reap the full benefits of Schield's extensive and wide-ranging experience in the insurance industry since 1990
