Sumser Insurance Professionals - New

🎉 Happy Birthday, Brian Dalton! 🎂

Today we’re celebrating Brian and all that he brings to the Sumser Insurance Professionals team! Brian has been in the insurance industry for about 9 months—all right here at Sumser—and we’re so happy to have him on our team!

When he’s not at work, Brian enjoys playing video games, visiting breweries, and spending time with his fiancée, Olivia, and their furry crew: Lillie, Bagel, and Olive. 🐶🐱🐱

Brian has called both Virginia and Washington State home, and one of his most memorable birthdays was when Olivia flew out to Washington and they spent the day exploring the beautiful Hoh Rainforest. 🌲💚

Join us in wishing Brian a very happy birthday! We hope your day is filled with plenty of fun, laughs, and time with the people (and pets!) you love most! 🥳🎈

Happy Birthday, Brian! 🎉

🎉 Happy 3rd Work Anniversary, Ike Andrews! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating 3 years of Ike Andrews at Sumser Insurance Professionals! We’re incredibly grateful for the relationships, knowledge, and energy Ike brings to our team every day.

For Ike, one of the best parts of his job is building relationships with clients and learning about their families and businesses—understanding what they’ve built, what makes them unique, and helping them make sense of insurance so they can protect what they’ve worked hard for. He also loves being part of our team and helping Sumser continue to grow.

Over the past three years, Ike has taken on more responsibility, built meaningful client relationships, and played an important role in the growth of our agency. That growth is something he’s especially proud of—and we’re proud of him, too!

And there’s plenty more to know about Ike! Outside of work, he enjoys golf, fishing, hunting, time at the family farms, boating, and pretty much anything outdoors. He and his wife, Meghan, just got married this past June! ❤️

They’re also a busy household with dogs Mossy & Buddie, crested gecko Chubbs, and some backyard chickens. 🐶🦎🐔

Fun fact: Ike was once the President of the bass fishing team at Christopher Newport University and even fished competitively in college! 🎣

When asked what he likes most about being part of the Sumser team, his answer was simple: “Definitely the people.” We couldn’t agree more. We’re lucky to have Ike as part of ours!

Help us wish Ike a very happy 3rd Work Anniversary! 🥳👏

🥂 What a Night! We’re Honored to Be First Runner-Up for Best Insurance Agency!

🇺🇸 Labor Day Office Closure 🇺🇸

In observance of Labor Day, both offices of Sumser Insurance Professionals will be closed as our team takes time to relax and celebrate with family and friends.

We hope you enjoy a safe and well-deserved holiday! Whether you're hitting the road, firing up the grill, or simply taking it easy, have a wonderful Labor Day weekend.

We'll reopen tomorrow during our normal business hours and look forward to serving you then.

Happy Labor Day from all of us at Sumser Insurance Professionals! ❤️🤍💙

💙 A Visit to Mercy Mall of Virginia

Yesterday, our Principal Agent, Shane Badon, and Marketing Manager, Lissa Badon, had the opportunity to spend some time at Mercy Mall of Virginia, a community partner we’re incredibly proud to support.

We were welcomed by Stacey Jones, Founder & Executive Director, who gave us a wonderful tour and shared more about the heart and mission behind Mercy Mall.

What began in 2011 with just one table and a rolling cart inside a local elementary school has grown into an incredible resource for local families experiencing crisis. ❤️

And of course, we couldn’t visit without stopping by Dwell Boutique & Coffee Bar! ☕🛍️ We enjoyed a delicious coffee drink and a little shopping while learning more about how Dwell helps support Mercy Mall’s mission. From curated secondhand clothing and accessories to home décor and a volunteer-run coffee bar, 100% of the proceeds and suggested donations go back toward Mercy Mall’s crisis-relief programs.

It was such a meaningful visit and a great reminder that community partnership is about more than writing a check — it’s about showing up, learning, connecting, and supporting the incredible organizations making a difference right here at home.

Thank you, Stacey and volunteers, for welcoming us and giving us a closer look at all that Mercy Mall does for our community. We’re honored to be your community partner! 💙

🎉 Cheers to 3 Years, Ashley! 🎉

Today we're celebrating Ashley and her 3-year work anniversary with Sumser Insurance Professionals! 🥳

As our Personal Lines Account Manager, Ashley loves building relationships with our clients and catching up on what's happening in their lives. Her caring personality and dedication make her an invaluable part of our team. 💙

We're also celebrating a big accomplishment—Ashley recently earned her Life Insurance License, adding another way she can help protect the people who trust us with their insurance needs! 👏

When she's not at the office, you'll find Ashley cheering on her two kids, Kierstyn and Brooks, coaching and co-directing her daughter's cheer team, spending time with her dogs Ace and Chase, reading a good book, or relaxing at her favorite place—the Outer Banks. (And if you ever need to win her over, just start talking about Harry Potter! ⚡📚)

Ashley, thank you for the care, positivity, and heart you bring to our team every day. We're so grateful you're part of the Sumser family, and we can't wait to see what the years ahead bring.

Help us congratulate Ashley on 3 amazing years in the comments! 🎉💙

☀️ Sumser Summer Fun! ☀️

Summer may be coming to an end, but the memories will last forever!

While our team was busy working hard and taking care of our amazing clients, we also made some time to soak up everything summer had to offer. 🌴☀️

From New York, Texas, Florida, Bahamas, OBX, and our beautiful state of Virginia, our Sumser team was on the move! ✈️🌎

Weddings, birthdays, NBA Finals, Today Show in Times Square, Teddy Swims concert, Crozet blueberry picking, fishing, puppies, dance recitals, rodeos, lots of beach time, family get-togethers, serving our community, and so much more 🎆💙

Here’s a little look at what our team was up to when we weren’t hard at work for our clients. Because work is important—but so is taking time to enjoy the moments, people, and places that make life sweet.

Cheers to a summer full of fun, adventure, connection, and memories! ☀️💙
