J. Monte Thompson

Account Executive

MonteT@McGowanInsGrp.com

Monte has spent most of his life in Montgomery County, growing up in Waynetown and graduating from North Montgomery and Butler University. Being raised in true “Small Town America” gave him an understanding of hard work, dedication and serving your neighbor. He spent two summers working at Disney World and learned from the best about customer service and satisfaction. After graduation he lived in North Carolina for three years while working for Prudential, he returned to Crawfordsville to buy into an existing independent insurance agency. Monte is President of J.M. Thompson Insurance, Inc., where he strives daily to find ways to serve his customers and lead his organization.

He has earned the designation of Certified Insurance Counselor and keeps current on trends and challenges in the insurance industry through extensive continuing education. He is a board member of the Independent Insurance Agents Indiana where he received the Director of the Year award in 2017.

He is active with his Christian faith and is involved at Traders Point Church in Whitestown. Monte is involved as an advocate and mentor with Trinity Mission. In the many years of working with men battling addictions, he has learned that ministry is messy, but invaluable. He served on the organizing committee for the annual Montgomery County Men’s Conferences, past president of Church Men United, past president of the Crawfordsville Rotary Club and past president of the Sugar Creek Players, Inc. Monte is married to Suzanne, and is the goofier half of the parenting team to their “adulting” children; Andrew, Davis and Kristen.

In his spare time, he enjoys being and working outside.  With as much chainsaw time as he gets, you would think he is practicing to be a full time lumberjack. Music and playing the drums have been lifelong interests.  He also enjoys boating, golf and travel.

Her most cherished “work” was as a Stay at Home, homeschooling mom for 9 years.  During this time, she developed a deeper love for education and desire to help others truly understand challenging concepts.  This same desire is the catalyst which motivates her to teach and explain the Medicare maze to clients.  She is passionate about helping Medicare participants find the best plans for them and avoid those who seek to harm them via scams.
