Marissa VanGennip-Dirnberger

Owner, VanGennip Insurance & Financial Services

When I was given the opportunity to purchase this Agency, I imagined an agency where the client would come first. I wanted to help clients prepare for the unexpected, to be able to help them lessen the traumatic effects of inevitable disasters and uncontrollable events that often happen in life. I wanted an agency where anyone – no matter their station in life – could walk in or call, talk to a knowledgeable agent, and get the answers to any and all questions.

I wanted an agency with friendly and helpful service that will keep up with our clients and monitor when their policies change and why. Anytime a client would like for me to review their insurance to see if there are changes we need or want to make, I am willing to do it – all it takes is a phone call to schedule it!

Our business is based on honesty and integrity and we value our relationship with our clients. We are well-staffed and willing to go above and beyond for our clients. We want to develop a long-term, long-lasting relationship with our clients and give them the best service possible. In addition, I want to give my clients a place where they could get everything taken care of in one place. To that end, we can offer almost any type of insurance you may need. We have many options:

• Auto, motorcycle, boat insurance, ATV, motor homes
• Residential homes, businesses, vacation homes
• Health, Medicare Supplements, and Prescription Drug Plans
• Life for any or all members of your family
• Pet, Agriculture, and Umbrella Insurance
• Financial and Retirement Management

No matter what you may need, we can do it all! Just give us a call or stop by!

I was born and raised in Sikeston along with my older sister Cari. When I graduated from high school, knowing that I enjoy working with numbers and processes, I began my career in the financial industry, working at a local bank for 5 years. There, I learned the basis of all that I use today within my career.

After my 5 years in banking, I became a mother and decided to be a stay-at-home Mom for nearly 18 years. This was one of the best decisions for my two boys, Cody and Lincoln. During this time, I was able to focus on my boys as well as work on several children’s projects. I became the VBS Director at our local church for several years, where we grew attendance to over 300 children each year. Sharing the love and gospel of Jesus Christ with so many was truly a blessing for all the hard work the whole team put into it. I also volunteered as PTO President for my son’s elementary school, where we worked as a team to grow the PTO to over 100 volunteers, with us raising more than $50,000 for the school in just one year. I was known by all the students as “Lincoln’s Mom”, as they saw me in the hallways nearly every day. It would always put a huge smile on my face when the kids yelled out with enthusiasm, “That’s Lincoln’s Mom!”. The team truly came together and did great things for the school.

Now that my boys are grown, I have re-entered the workforce knowing that my wheelhouse is and should be working within the insurance and financial industries. My banking days long ago truly laid all of the groundwork to me becoming the newest Office Manager at VanGennip Insurance. Here, I am able to use my detail-oriented skills to be the best I can be for the client.

My pastimes, outside of work, are filled with gardening, traveling, eating at unique restaurants, fishing for crappie and northern pike.
