JWA lives by 5 core values: Accountability, Passion, Goal Driven, Positivity/Gratitude, Family Drive & Reliability. Our team goes above and beyond in all aspects of life & cannot wait to help protect you.
Kansas has not always been home, I was born and raised in Maine. Both of my parents served in the Coast Guard, stationed in Southwest Harbor, ME, I could not have asked for a more beautiful place to live. Spending time with my daughter and traveling are my favorite things to do. I have been with Jeff’s agency since 2014, I look forward to collaborating with you for all your insurance needs!
Laura Gordon
Sales Specialist - Life
I was born in San Jose, CA and attended San Jose State University where I obtained my Bachelor of Science. I am blessed with two amazing kids, Monique & Alex who made the move to Kansas with me back in 2006. Since moving to Salina, I have been a member of JWA which means I have been a part of this agency for 17 years! Although I can help you with any aspect of insurance, Life Insurance is my specialty. Protecting yourself and your family is the most thoughtful thing you can do, let me help!
Madison Kennedy
Customer Service Representative
I was born and raised in Kansas City. I moved to Salina after high school where my boyfriend Conner and I bought our first home and welcomed our little girl, Carsyn. I enjoy being active and spending time with family. Before insurance I have worked as a personal trainer & in the customer service industry. That experience has helped me work with people of all different backgrounds and needs. At JWA I handle all of our claims, so when you find yourself in a bind, I can help!

I grew up in Abilene, KS before attending FHSU for my Bachelor's while also playing football. After moving back home for college, I got married to my wife, Taylor & we decided to make Salina our home. After meeting Jeff and the rest of the JWA team, I knew that this was the place I wanted to be. I handle majority of our Farm/Ranch policies but can help with any area of insurance.
