Since 2015, The Hansen Agency LLC has been proudly rooted in Washington, Canonsburg, and Houston, Pennsylvania—providing individuals and businesses with trusted, comprehensive insurance solutions. Built on integrity, service, and strong community ties, our agency has expanded its reach across Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio, while continuing to deliver the same personal attention our clients value.
Whether you’re seeking coverage for your home, vehicle, life, or business, our team is here to guide you with clarity and confidence. As independent brokers, we work with multiple top-rated carriers to offer customized policies that balance protection and affordability. At The Hansen Agency, we are committed to helping you safeguard what matters most—with personalized service you can count on.
I founded Hansen Agency in 2015 with nothing more than a clean slate and a strong desire to start fresh after leaving my career in law enforcement. What began as a solo effort quickly became something much greater—built hand in hand with a dedicated team that shares the same values and vision. Together, we’ve grown the agency from the ground up into a trusted resource for individuals, families, and businesses throughout our community.
With over 10 years in the insurance industry, I specialize in auto, home, life, and commercial coverage of all kinds. We've also been recognized multiple times for our work in life insurance—something I’m proud of, but even more important to me is how we show up for our clients every day.
What makes us different is simple: we treat people the way we want to be treated. Our approach is casual and honest—you come to us with a problem, and we do everything we can to solve it. We take the time to explain your options, offer real guidance, and do our best to get you the coverage you need—often at a better price.
At the heart of our agency are values like integrity, honesty, and authentic communication. We’re not here to push products—we’re here to protect people. That mindset guides every interaction and every decision we make.
I also believe in leading as part of a team. I don’t make major decisions without input from my staff, because this agency isn’t just mine—it’s ours. We operate with mutual respect, open communication, and a shared commitment to doing right by our clients.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife, our child, and our three German Shepherds. I’m also passionate about CrossFit and regularly compete—it keeps me grounded, disciplined, and always striving for more.
