Established in 2001

Ken Koehler and his impressive team of regional managers have doubled the size of the region since 2021 by creating win-win-wins with Ironpeak Members and carrier partners. The proof is in the pudding — 35 independent Midwestern agencies joined our proudly independent network in 2024. We hope you’ll call us to find out why.

Fun fact

If you take in the view from Chicago’s Willis Tower on a clear day, you’ll likely see three states — Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois. We love this view, probably because Michigan and Illinois are Ironpeak’s top two states in the Midwest, writing a total of over $200 million combined.
