Brian Sater is our fearless leader at the Insurance Stops. Brian has lived in Colorado Springs since 1971. An Air Force military brat, Brian moved here from where he calls heaven, Anchorage, Alaska. Brian attended district 11 schools--Patrick Henry, Irving Junior High, and graduated from Mitchell High School in 1978. He then attended Pikes Peak Community College. While in high school he met and began a relationship with his wife of more than 30 years, Chris.
Chris has worked in the Radiology Department at Colorado Springs Memorial Hospital since 1980. She and Brian have 3 children--Adam, Meagan, and Dylan. They also have 3 granddaughters.
Brian started his career in insurance at the ripe old age of 20. After a short stint with Farmers Insurance Group Brian went to work with Farmers Union Service Association (FUSA) as an agent in Pueblo. Soon thereafter he expanded his business into Colorado Springs, and eventually Denver. Brian's oldest son, Adam, has his own agency in Fort Collins. His daughter, Meagan, is a teacher and coach at Sierra High School in Colorado Springs and his youngest son, Dylan, is a student at Jenkins Middle School.
Brian's most popular location was located at the corner of Airport and Academy in the old Lakewood Vet building. After being there for more than 10 years customers adapted well to hearing dogs howling, cats mewing, and stepping over and around "land mines" left by them on the sidewalk.
When asked to pinpoint what it is that sets the Insurance Stops apart from other agents Brian says, "I feel what has made the Insurance Stops a success is our down to earth approach to giving great customer service. You'll probably never see me in a tie or any of the ladies in a fancy dress. Those clothes are for doctors and lawyers and people who make you uncomfortable, that's not what we're about. I have been blessed in the folks who have worked for me. You'll notice most have been with me for sometime. I try to make our work fun, no one likes to work but most of us have to. Since it's something we all have to do we might as well have fun while doing it."
An avid sports nut, Brian was inducted into the Colorado Slow Pitch Hall of Fame in 1999. He enjoys his golf game, but his real passion has been watching and helping his three children in their sports life. Hockey, baseball, volleyball and golf are activities the family has enjoyed.

Whether you are a driver who never had a ticket or someone who has, unfortunately, seen the inside of traffic court, you will find an agent here to meet your needs. We are here for our customers. We are agents for you, not for the companies we represent. We would like nothing more than to help you save money and get the coverage you need."
Nicola "Nikki" Darling has been with the Insurance Stops since 2008. She began her insurance career in 1991, working with her father, servicing military families with life insurance and other financial products. In 2005 Nikki rounded out her insurance licensing by getting her P&C (property and casualty) license to go along with L&H (life and health). She opened her own agency in Colorado Springs in 2005, again primarily catering to the military personnel and their families. Nikki brings a lot of knowledge and experience as well as a whole bunch of enthusiasm to the Insurance Stops.
Nikki offered her views in a nutshell, "We are always looking to round out our customers insurance. We offer life, health, homeowners, renters, snowmobile, motorcycle, jetski, camper, RV, and commercial insurance as well. Give us a look for all of your insurance needs!"
Maria is a bi-lingual licensed agent who has been with the Insurance Stops for the past 5 years.
Maria puts it this way, "Are you tired of seeing a different customer service representative every time you visit your agent's office? Does it seem like nobody knows what's going on with your policy and can't answer any of your questions? At the Insurance Stops you'll see the same friendly faces every month. Please feel free to call or e-mail us; we have a customer oriented staff who will work hard to find you the best rate possible with the coverage you need."
Delicia "Dee" Berdeja works in the primarily Spanish speaking Colorado Springs office called Seguros Colorado. Delicia began her career with the Insurance Stops in 1997. Other than Brian, Delicia is the senior employee of the Insurance Stops. Delicia was the first person to truly market and service Spanish speaking customers in Colorado Springs. Delicia is extremely popular with all of her customers. She is a notary public as well.
Dee sums up her philosophy like this, "It doesn't matter if you have tickets, need an SR22, have a foreign drivers license, whatever.....we can and will help you."
David Rolle works in our office at 6th and Santa Fe in Denver. David grew up in Wyoming where his father was an insurance agent. David came to Colorado in 1980 working many years for the Jones Agency and when it was bought by the Insurance Stops David began working with us. He has owned his own agency, served as a marketing manager for a couple of different insurance companies, and has worked more than 30 years in the auto insurance marketplace. David lives with his wife Jacque, they have two adult children, Danielle and Trevor.
David is a huge sports fan regularly attending games from the Colorado Rapids and Mammoth to the Avalanche, Rockies, Broncos and Nuggets. He would love to talk sports with you if you stop by the office. David has an uncanny ability to make you feel at ease with his wry sense of humor. He can sense whether you're in a hurry to get things done or would like to sit and talk for a while. He is happy to explain various coverage in detail if that's what you're looking for but he is just as willing to get you what you need as quickly as possible. As David puts it, "I just try to get everyone what they want or need in as timely a fashion as possible."
