Angie Johnson

Independent Agent

Individual and family health
Self-employed coverage
Protection planning

Angie is a lifelong Spokane Valley resident with a deep appreciation for the community she has always called home. She is passionate about building lasting relationships and helping individuals and families make important decisions with confidence.

Before entering the insurance industry, Angie built successful careers in both healthcare and mortgage lending. Those experiences shaped her ability to listen carefully, understand each client's unique circumstances, and work through the details of healthcare coverage and financial decisions. Today, Angie applies those skills to helping clients evaluate their options, make informed decisions, and feel supported throughout the year.

Angie's commitment to serving others extends well beyond her professional life. She is actively involved in her church as a greeter and values the opportunity to visit homebound members of her community. Family is at the heart of Angie's life, and she especially enjoys cheering on her son through her involvement with the Eastern Washington University Hockey Booster Club.

In her free time, Angie treasures time spent with family and friends, whether she is glamping, gathered around a summer campfire, or simply enjoying time with her mom.

For Angie, helping others is more than a profession. It is an opportunity to earn trust, build lasting relationships, and make a positive difference in the lives of the individuals and communities she is proud to serve.

We teach before we recommend

Our job is to make you the expert on your own coverage. What you do with that is up to you.

We will always be honest

If nothing we represent is right for you, we will say so and point you somewhere else.

We answer the phone

Not just during enrollment. Call us in anytime about a billing question and someone picks up.

Where to find us

Three offices across Eastern Washington

All three offices are by appointment, so you get the time you booked rather than a waiting room. Pick an office to see where it is, then call (509) 979-2578 or send us a message on contact page and we will find you a time.

Talk to one of us

You have seen who you would be working with. Whichever office you call, you get a licensed person who will still be here next year.
