History
Lamm's Insurance Agency was formed on April
1, 1990. The agency was purchased from Henry Drees.
Henry was the agent/owner of the Henry Drees Insurance Agency.
Henry had purchased his agency from his father-in-law, Mr. John
Post, many years prior.
Tom Lamm purchased the agency from Henry in 1990. Tom was the sole employee at the time of purchase although Henry
acted as his tutor for the first year.
The first location of Lamm's Insurance was
6420 State Route 119, Maria Stein, Ohio. This location was
rented space from Marion Mutual Insurance Association. In
the first years, Tom had one desk and several filing cabinets,
one phone and no computers. As a matter of fact, Marion
Mutual used the same desk for some of their meetings. Due
to growth after 18 years, it became apparent that both Marion
Mutual Insurance and Lamm's Insurance Agency needed more elbow
room. This began the search in Marion Township for a place
to rent or to build a building for the agency. Land was
located in downtown Maria Stein. Ground was broken in May
of 2009 and in October 2009, Lamm's Insurance Agency moved to
its present location at 8085 State Route 119, Maria Stein, OH.
It soon became apparent
additional personnel would be needed due to the continuing
growth of the agency.
The first secretary of the agency
was Jani Lamm. Jani worked for the agency for about one
year. Her replacement was Joyce Moeller. Joyce
started as a secretary but soon became an additional agent for
Lamm's Insurance Agency until she moved on to pursue another
career in 2008. In 1996, Jerome Borchers was added as an
agent to the agency. Jerome continues representing the
agency as an agent in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Again, due to
continuing growth, additional personnel were needed. In
1998, Tracy Mescher was added to the agency as a
secretary/agent, followed by Erin Huelsman in 2004, Sue Ahrens
in 2006, Chris Sorensen in 2010, Tom's son Ryan Lamm in 2011, and
most recently Brad 'Pac-Man' Knapke in 2019. In July of 2019,
Ryan Lamm became co-owner in the agency. All of the employees are
licensed agents representing Lamm's Insurance Agency. All
are still employed in some capacity and continue to represent
Lamm's Insurance Agency.
