He was drawn to the insurance industry because of deep relationships that are built with long term clients and his ability to make a difference in the lives of his policy holders.
In 2008, Mike obtained his life, health, property and casualty insurance licenses in Colorado and opened the doors to the Mike Schmisek Insurance Agency of Farmers Insurance. Mike’s dream of an insurance agency dedicated to the client proved to be a winning idea. His agency earned many awards and distinctions for the quality of business as well as the rapid growth of the agency. Mike’s success in the insurance industry created so many requests for training and speaking that he helped form a company, the Social Heroes, who train insurance agents on growing their businesses online. In October 2019, Mike started an independent insurance agency, Premier Mountain Insurance.
