CECILIA DAGOSTINO

Born and raised in KC; I love all things KC! When I am not enrolling, you will find me at any local sporting event as I consider myself to be a massive sports fan.  I have a special love for rugby, football and hockey. I am happiest when I am hanging with family and friends and I find happiness in approaching each day with a grateful heart.  

DANIEL RINEBERG

My start in the insurance industry with the Kansas Department of Insurance.  After that I moved on to sales, which is where I belong.  Our goal is to help businesses with all things benefits, including health, dental, vision, life and all ancillary lines. On the personal side, I love to golf and spend time outside on the farm.
