Bio
Tiffany Smith- Sopousek
At the start of my insurance career, Jim Van Farowe was my superior by two levels. I have yet to meet a leader as inspiring, engaging and genuine as Jim. Jim cares about employees at all levels and takes the time to keep them motivated and dedicated to their work, customers and organization. Jim is an innovator and does not shy away from change in an effort to improve the organization. I owe much of the success in my career and my future aspirations to Jim Van Farowe. As a Claim Manager, I can only hope to be the leader for others that Jim was for me. Thank you Jim for all you do for your employees and all you have done for me.
