In your own words, please write a paragraph about how the owner or partners got interested in starting this business. Is the owner the first person in their family to own a business? Did they have a career before starting this business? Were there any specific challenges they faced in opening or keeping the business open?

For years, Jim Trampevski built a successful career in the corporate world—working for a major tobacco company. From the outside, everything looked good: stability, advancement, and recognition. But inside, something was missing. The work lacked meaning. It wasn’t until the birth of his children that everything shifted. Holding his newborns in his arms, Jim realized he wanted more than a paycheck—he wanted a purpose.

He began to ask himself: What legacy am I leaving behind? How can I make a real difference?

The answer came in an unexpected but powerful way—insurance.

While insurance might not sound glamorous, Jim saw it for what it truly is: a chance to be there for people on their hardest days. A car accident, a house fire, a sudden loss—those are the moments when people need more than a policy. They need someone they can trust, someone who truly cares. That’s what Jim set out to become.

His wife, a constant source of strength and resilience, joined him on this mission. A five-time cancer survivor, her fight and determination became the heartbeat of their business. Together, they built Protected Insurance by Trampevski & Associates—a family-run agency grounded in empathy, integrity, and service.

Today, their mission is clear: to protect what matters most to families, individuals, and businesses across our community. Whether it’s your home, your life, or your livelihood, Jim and his team are here to ensure that you’re covered, cared for, and confident in your future.

Because to them, insurance isn’t just business—it’s personal.

Tell a story about a great customer experience.

Not long ago, one of our new clients found themselves in a frustrating situation. Their previous insurance carrier unexpectedly doubled their premium—all because a payment failed due to an expired credit card on file. No call, no warning—just a rate hike and a threat to cancel coverage. The customer was shocked and understandably upset. They had been with that carrier for years and felt completely blindsided.

That’s when they reached out to us at Protected Insurance by Trampevski & Associates.

We jumped into action right away. After reviewing their current policy, we quickly saw they were not only overpaying—but also underinsured in key areas. Within a single day, we were able to quote them stronger coverage across the board—home, auto, and umbrella—all for nearly half of what they were about to pay with their former provider.

When we shared the new quote and walked them through every detail, they were absolutely ecstatic. Their exact words?

“I can’t believe you got us better coverage for less. You’ve earned our business for life.”

Now, they’ve moved all their policies to us—and even referred two family members. To them, Protected Insurance isn’t just an agency—it’s a trusted partner they can count on to advocate for their best interest, every time.

When it comes to insurance, you have options. But at Protected Insurance by Trampevski & Associates, we believe it’s not just about policies—it’s about people.

Here’s what sets us apart:

We’ve Been in Your Shoes. Jim Trampevski left a successful corporate career in big tobacco to pursue work that actually meant something—helping people when they need it most. Inspired by the birth of his children and partnered with his wife, a five-time cancer survivor, this business was built from a place of personal purpose, not just profit.

Family-Owned, Client-Focused. We’re not a call center or a faceless national brand. We’re your neighbors—rooted in the community, available when you call, and personally invested in protecting what matters to you.

We Don’t Sell—We Serve. Our mission isn’t to upsell you—it’s to educate, guide, and customize coverage that fits your life, your budget, and your goals. No cookie-cutter policies, no pressure—just honest advice and real protection.

We Show Up on the Hardest Days. Whether it’s a house fire, an accident, or an unexpected loss, our clients know we’re more than a policy—we’re a partner. We’ve helped families navigate tragedies, businesses recover from setbacks, and individuals find peace of mind in the face of uncertainty.

Top-Rated Carriers, Personalized Options. As an independent agency, we represent a wide range of top insurance companies—so we can shop around and find the best rates and coverage for you, not just push one brand.

At the end of the day, choosing an insurance provider is about trust. With Protected Insurance by Trampevski & Associates, you’re not just another policy number. You’re part of a family that puts people first—and protects them like it.

What extra services do you offer that people might not know about? For example, restaurants might offer catering and Car Washes might offer shampooing of seats and carpet.

At Protected Insurance by Trampevski & Associates, we believe great service doesn’t stop with a single policy. Once you become part of our client family, our goal is to be your lifelong resource—offering everything you need under one roof to protect, purchase, and plan for the future.
