This is what we do...

We work all our lives to provide for ourselves and family and while doing so hope to save up enough to one day be able to say "I'm retired!" Along the way, there are risks that need to be accounted for and protected against: the risk of dying early, becoming disabled, sustaining a loss or damage to our major assets, needing advanced care from a nursing home or seeking care inside the home. This is what insurance is for. It provides peace of mind to us as we travel down our path in life. We are here to help you navigate down your path.

With over 15 years of experience in the financial services industry, we feel that we can be of great service to you. Being an independent agency, we have the ability to access several companies for your needs which allows us to offer you great rates on the solutions we find for your particular needs!

Our mission, in accordance with our Christian faith, is to "serve one another, humbly in love" as Galatians 5:13 states. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you!

Showed genuine interest in us as people and not just another number/client. Did a great job learning about what we needed and found the best option for us.

Gerardo L., customer since 2018
Kris was awesome. He took the time to make sure we got the best policy available and took the extra time to come to me and fully explained everything we got. I'm highly appreciative of all the time and patience he displayed. Will definitely recommend him and Ascend Financial with the highest praise. Looking forward to doing much more business with this group.

Kris made getting home and auto insurance quotes very easy. Also the process of setting up the new insurance policies was very easy and seemless.

Rick V., customer since 2017
You did very well in explaining the policies and breaking down the cost on each. You didn’t try to push coverages that we felt were uneccesary and you seemed very knowledgeable given your experience. You are easy to get a hold of and fast in returning calls. Also, we always kind of root for the local businesses. Lastly, we ourselves are Christians and we liked that you incorporated your Christian beliefs in your business statement.

Chad P., customer since 2016
Kris does a great job of explaining our policies and financial statements. He is easy to reach, and incredibly patient. Highly recommend.

Jaime B., customer since 2016
I love the fact that the foundation of Ascend is based on Christian values and truly cares about the people they serve as well as giving back to our community. This weekend I am taking part of a goodwill house painting project sponsored by Ascend Financial, and proud to be a part of this. They offer the best prices for my insurance needs and anytime I have an issue or questions, i know it will be taken care of quickly. Prior to moving my insurance to Ascend I was insured with a large well known company, and never really knew who my agent or felt like just another client. Love Ascend, their services and what they stand for! Thanks Kris Jerke!

Jacquelyn B., customer since 2016

Customer since 2017
I thought the one on one contact and information delivery was great. The options and rates were very competitive as well.

Customer since 2017
Finding the right policy that is the best fit for our family, sometimes felt like learning a foreign language. At Ascend, they went above and beyond to educate us what coverage we needed and made sure to understand what we were getting with each plan. They made sure we were getting the right coverage that fit our needs. Thanks, Ascend for providing us the knowledge and customer service to fit our family.

Michael S., customer since 2016
Kris treated us very well and made us feel very comfortable about financial decisions.

James P., customer since 2016
We have always enjoyed working with Kris. We know that he is honest about his guidance for our home, auto and financial protection.

Customer since 2016
Strong values, great service and a good heart.

Gary J., customer since 2015
How you interact and treat your clients. Thank you Kris.

Customer since 2016
I chose Ascend Financial for my insurance needs after they were recommended by my mortgage processor. The first e-mail I got had a closing statement of "Be Blessed" or something similar and that made the difference. My faith is important to me and working with someone who also shares that passion was important. The little things matter and Ascend Financial pays attention to the little things. Thanks Kris.

Bruce V., customer since 2016
Kris looked at all of our needs as there are today and then helped us look at what we would need as our child gets older. I like how he helped us improve our coverage and saved us money.

Jared W., customer since 2016
Kristopher has an amazing approach about helping and looking for best solution in your unique situation, very flexible and ready to come to you and place of your convenience to discuss details. Balance of great innovations and good Christian values will go a long way. I'm very satisfied. Thank you.

Pawel Z., customer since 2016
The personal touch and relationship that Kris has initiated is very important to me/us when choosing insurance.

Dan S., customer since 2016
Kris was very easy to talk to and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. He responded to emails/calls/texts right away and that made me feel like we made the right decision going with Ascend. It's comforting to know that we are able to get ahold of Kris when needed and that he will get back to us as soon as possible if we are unable to reach him at the time. Kris is not an insurance salesman. He is an advisor and I am confident that he will recommend only things that are in our best interest. Thank you so much!

Tamra_Fry H., customer since 2016
You did an awesome job, we appreciated all the time tou spent! Thank you

Kevin S., customer since 2016

Very professional and thorough. Highly recommend him to all for their financial needs and insurance needs.

Gary J., customer since 2015
When we made the switch from a company that we had been with for 40 years Kris made the transition very smooth for us. He cut my homeowners in half for better coverage and saved us money and gave us even better coverage on most other policies. Very professional and courteous company to work with!

You were knowledgeable, helpful, and caring. You gave great advice!!
