With close to 15 years of commercial insurance experience, we help businesses prepare for what they don’t see coming. As an independent, boutique-style agency, we work for you—not a single carrier. In fact, we have access to 100+ insurance markets, giving you flexibility and options.
Unlike those big-name agencies answering to corporate overlords or hedge fund “Gods” (yes, we said it), our mission is simple:
Be your trusted risk advisor. Advocate fiercely on your behalf. Keep both your coverage and costs in check.
Our Commercial Insurance Solutions Include:
We don’t just “shop quotes.” We take a consultative approach—working closely with you to design a smart, tailored insurance and risk management strategy that grows with your business.
What happens if your business gets hit with a lawsuit?
Or if a fire damages your property?
Or an employee gets seriously injured on the job?
These aren’t just hypothetical risks—they’re the kinds of situations we help clients navigate every day through smart insurance strategies and proactive risk management.
Do you have a dedicated agent who’ll actually pick up the phone when you need them—someone who knows your business and can guide you through a crisis?
Let’s find out. Schedule a complimentary review of your current insurance and risk management program.
No pressure, no sales pitch—just honest advice.
Sure, finding coverage is the easy part—there are plenty of brokers who can toss quotes at you all day. But we’re not here to just plug numbers into a system. We don’t need quoting practice for funsies.
We focus on building real relationships—getting to know your business, your goals, and the risks that keep you up at night (or at least mildly annoyed during the day).
We’re in this for the long haul—partnering with clients and referral partners who value collaboration, not just transactions.
And here’s the best part:
We don’t work with just anybody.
If you’re looking for a pushy, high-pressure sales pitch—or if you’re in a race to the bottom on price over coverage—you won’t find it here. We’ll gladly leave that to the commoditized brokers with their call scripts and quotas.
Not sure where to start? No worries—we make it easy.
Let’s schedule a quick call or Zoom to get the ball rolling.
We’ll review your current coverage, explore other market options (if it makes sense), and map out risk management strategies that can directly impact your costs.
Prefer an in-person meeting? We’re always glad to host you at our office—or for select clients, we’ll gladly come to you for deeper collaboration.
Jodie has been a dedicated professional in the commercial insurance world since 2011, with deep roots in public sector risk management.
Her career began as a senior underwriter for the Colorado School Districts Self Insurance Pool (CSDSIP) and the Colorado Intergovernmental Risk Sharing Agency (CIRSA), where she built extensive experience protecting public entities.
In 2019, she transitioned to the private sector, joining a large regional brokerage known for high-volume workers’ compensation. She quickly became a top producer—but also realized she was stuck in a system that prioritized sales over true client advocacy. That just didn’t align with her values.
As Jodie puts it: “ I didn’t want to become another cog in a corporate wheel. I knew there had to be a better way—one that combined a personal approach with broad market access. So, I bet it all and set out to build something different, trusting the right clients and team would follow."
That leap became Ascent Insurance Solutions, where Jodie leads with integrity, expertise, and an unwavering commitment to putting clients first.
With the kids now off adulting, Jodie lives in the Saddle Rock community of Southeast Aurora. When she’s not advocating for clients, you’ll likely find her golfing with friends or exploring in the mudbuggy with her husband and their beloved furbabies.
Russell is our go-to safety expert, bringing decades of hands-on experience to help clients improve their safety practices. When he’s not supporting our team, he runs his own safety and training business, providing specialized guidance across industries.
In 2023, Russell retired from a distinguished 35-year career as an over-the-road (OTR) driver—logging an impressive 3.8 million accident-free miles. Along the way, he also managed DOT safety and compliance for his previous organization.
Although he’s parked the truck, he hasn’t hung up his CDL just yet. These days, Russell focuses on helping businesses navigate safety and compliance challenges—both on the road and in the workplace. His expertise spans DOT regulations, transportation safety, operational risk, and general workplace safety.
For businesses seeking safety support—whether or not they’re (yet) part of Team Ascent—Russell proudly leads Ascent Safety Solutions as founder and head honcho.
When he’s not geeking out over safety and compliance (or critiquing Jodie’s enthusiastic driving skills), Russell enjoys quiet time at home with the furbabies, football, and perfecting his landscaping skills.
Chester and Wizzle proudly serve as our official Champions of Cheer, occasionally accompanying Mom and Dad to the office to brighten the day with their antics.
Both are hypoallergenic and have their favorite spots tucked under our desks when visitors stop by.
If you’re sensitive to animals, no worries—we’re happy to let them enjoy a day off at home for your scheduled meeting.
Are you experienced in Commercial P&C or a B2B pro looking to break into the risk management and insurance world?
We’re not your typical big corporate shop—or a dusty, old-school agency buried under piles of paperwork. We take pride in delivering a concierge-style risk management experience and welcome those who share that same commitment to follow-through and client care.
As our agency grows—fueled by doing the right thing and reinvesting in support for both clients and staff—we’re always on the lookout for dynamic team members who want to grow with us.
