     Agency History



Nixon & Lindstrom Insurance was founded in 1955 by Jerry Nixon under the name Jerry Nixon Insurance, Inc.The agency conducted business under several names including Nixon Ship & Roderick, Nixon & Roderick, and finally Nixon & Company until 1985. In 1985 Roger Lindstrom joined the agency and the name changed to Nixon & Lindstrom Insurance as it remains today.

The agency flourished in the 1980's and saw the addition of Jerry Nixon's son Mark Nixon in 1981 and son Luke Nixon in 1985 who joined the agency as salespeople.

The early 1990's were times of explosive growth for the firm as sales grew to $9,000,000. In 1995 agency founder Jerry Nixon died suddenly at the age of 64. Perpetuation planning undertaken years earlier preserved the firm. Mark Nixon and Luke Nixon purchased all stock in the agency and continued business operations. Tragedy was to strike again four years later when in 1999, Mark Nixon died suddenly at the age of 40. Once again, perpetuation planning allowed the agency to continue as Luke Nixon purchased remaining shares in the corporation.

Today the agency is a leading insurer of business and individual clients offering a variety of insurance products including Property & Casualty, Bonds, Health, Life and Professional Liability coverage. Nixon & Lindstrom Insurance represents 24 of the nations leading insurance companies and reports sales of over $37,000,000 annually.
