Richard McKenny

I am an independent insurance agent serving customers in the metro area for over 35 years.  I am passionate about insurance and about working hard to find my customers the best value proposition for their insurance needs, including: coverage, service, and price.  My industry accomplishments include being voted the 2010 Minnesota Independent Agent of the Year, Member of the National Board of Directors for the Independent Agents of America, and Former President of MIIAB: Minnesota Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers Assocation.

My personal interests include spending time at my cabin with friends and outdoor activities, which include hunting and fishing.  I've lived in the South Metro for most of my life, having raised three beautiful daughters and one wonderful son in the area.  I now have 7 grandchildren that keep me very busy and I enjoy spending as much quality time with my family as I can.
