Baby Boom: A&M Family Expands
Mason Scott Richter was born in June to his proud parents, Amy and Ben Richter. Amy has been an underwriter for both A&M's commercial and personal lines departments. Amy has joined her sister, Laura Long, as a telecommuting underwriter. A&M has business hours from 6:00am to 7:00 pm (Pacific Time).

Mason weighed in at 9lbs. 8ozs. Amy commented, "Unfortunately, I don't have any very interesting stories about him yet, but he is practicing his baby basics such as rolling over, blowing raspberries, and chewing on his toes."

Amy (and Mason) are working hard to give our producer partners the fast turnaround on quotes and the great service you need to serve your clients.
