ABOUT US
I have known the stress of caring for a family member will congenital heart disease since I was in elementary school. My mother, Diane Hubbard, was born in Greenville, MS on March 26, 1961 had open heart surgery and fought for nearly two decades to be active and here in her family's life. June 2020, she had a stroke and nothing was ever the same. Since it was during the pandemic COVID, care and visitations were limited due to staffing issues as well. She remained bedridden for a year before she could have surgery on partial skull replacement in June of 2021. Finally, she was allowed to come that December of 2021. Over the summer of 2022, she suffered another series of "heart episodes" and later passed on September 26, 2022 at the young age of sixty one.

AUSTIN BRUCE,
BOARD MEMBER
I come from the potato-covered fields of Idaho. I graduated from Brigham Young University - Idaho in 2019 where I received my BS Degree in Business Finance. During my time at University, I married my high school sweetheart Sarah, a little over a four years ago we welcomed an amazing little girl named Brynlee into our family and now we also have a super active one year old boy named Bennett. We also have 2 dogs, Auggie and Fergus. Outside of work you can find us searching for authentic Chinese and Latin American food in town. We lived in China for 4 months teaching English and I lived in Honduras, Tegucigalpa for two years as a service missionary for my church. So, we love finding food that reminds us of our time abroad.
I started my insurance career as an Account Manager for a State Farm agent in Rexburg, Idaho in 2019. No one grows up wanting to be an insurance agent and I was no different, but after my studies in personal financial management that changed. I want to help people have a working knowledge of Insurance and finances so they can achieve their goals and have greater freedom.
