Western Specialty Insurors, LLC (WSI) was founded by Tami Ford and Kevin Shewmaker in July of 2011. After working together in the Special Risk Insurance/Risk Management Industry together for over 10 years, Tami and Kevin had an opportunity to establish their own agency with a focus on a connection between attentive customer service and unparalleled industry knowledge.
The hallmark of WSI’s success in business has been its focus in the Rodeo, Equestrian, and Livestock Industries. However, the principals of WSI also have extensive experience in broader areas of the Sports/Entertainment/Leisure industries. Regardless of the specific risk, WSI prides itself on its ability to establish innovative Insurance and Risk Management programs that focus on its clients’ individual and unique needs.
So, from Bull Riding to Badminton, the staff at WSI has the industry experience to customize a comprehensive and cost-effective program for its prospective clientele.
