    Sam Schamerhorn

    Owner - CAIB

    Starting out as a the little welcome girl when Michele & Howard owned the business, Sam is the proud new 3rd generation owner of Allan Agencies.

    Colin Schamerhorn

    Restricted Auto Broker - Bookkeeper - Handyman

    Colin began working side-by-side with his wife, Sam, in 2024. If he isn't in the office helping out with your auto insurance, motor license issuing, or bookkeeping needs, you'll find him around the town or out in the country visiting customers and taking photos with our office drone. Thank you Colin for all that you do!

    Michele Zaporozen

    Former Owner - Bookkeeper - Income Tax Prepper

    Michele started working for Allan Agencies in 1984 when her father, Ray Guidry, was still the current owner. In 1990 she purchased Allan Agencies and was our proud owner for 34 years. While she won’t be advising you for your insurance needs, she’s still our senior bookkeeper and is here to help you with all your personal income tax needs. Thank you for your more than 45 years of service Michele!

    Howard Zaporozen

    Former Owner - Income Tax Prepper - Handyman

    In 2001 Howard became co-owner of Allan Agencies alongside his wife, Michele. For many years he worked as a journeyman ag mechanic, however he eventually left that behind in order to help Michele run the brokerage. These days you’ll find him around during tax season to help with your personal tax prep, however we all appreciate the hard work he's done over the years! Thanks Howard!
