narrative™, a Denver Agency brand

narrative™ is the personal insurance brand of Denver Agency, a firm dedicated to protecting the personal interests and lifestyles of high net worth individuals and families. Denver Agency has been privately held since its founding in 1932.

At narrative™, we assume nothing about your needs. And we never act as though “good enough” is ever truly good or close to being enough.

Together, narrative™ and Denver Agency are committed to maintaining that independent streak that few in our industry have dared to follow, but upon which many generations of clients have come to rely.

If you’d like to learn more about how narrative can protect the assets that define your story, fill out this micro-form and we will respond in short order.

A certain kind of insurance for a certain kind of life.

Industry Peer

Personalization coming from looking more closely at the exposure and customization that can only come from truly understanding the needs of the client.  All of which is held together by the expertise of Denver Agency. Brilliant!

Wealth Manager

It’s so refreshing to have a partner who understands the unique challenges of working with high net worth families – and that is able to provide supporting risk management services in areas outside my expertise, complementing my offerings.

New Client

I just wanted to tell you how happy I am to be a narrative client. Jenny and Audra are two of the finest people I’ve ever worked with. You have a great team at your agency. It makes my wife and I feel like we are very well taken care…

Loyal Client

narrative has been unfailingly wonderful!! They are prompt, courteous, friendly and intelligent. They have handled all of my questions, concerns and claims with ease.

We prefer hearing about your life story, so we’ll be brief in sharing ours.

As no one has yet heralded a bullet-pointed slide deck as a compelling story, we’ll forgo the lengthy lists of degrees earned and courses completed. Suffice it to say our founding partners are masters of their craft and have the industry certifications to prove it.

Eric
Originally from Westchester County, New York, Eric has immersed himself in the world of high net worth insurance since graduating from the University of Colorado in 1992. As the president of the agency, Eric has infused a high-touch, empathy-focused attitude into everything narrative does. This transformational approach has garnered much attention within an industry traditionally resistant to change. Eric lives with his wife, two boys, and two labradoodles in Cherry Hills Village, Colorado.
Chip
At the age of four, Chip’s family moved to Colorado where he instantly fell in love with skiing and the outdoors – now sharing that passion with his wife and two kids. During his active childhood, he formed lasting friendships with many of Denver’s community and civic leaders. He joined Denver Agency in 2003 and quickly became a partner and leader on the personal insurance team, as well taking on the role of CFO of the firm.
Katy
Katy is a graduate of the University of Kansas and joined Denver Agency in 2002 as a third-generation partner. In 2015, Katy was one of two women nominated and selected to participate on the Nationwide Insurance National Council. She obtained her Certified Insurance Counselor designation in 2004 and completed her CAPI designation in 2017. Katy is an active member of the community, and as a foodie, she loves to explore the restaurant scene. She is the proud mother of two boys and one puppy, who all provide continuous education regarding risk-benefit analysis.
Jeff
Jeff joined the agency in 1991 and holds both the Certified Insurance Counselor and Accredited Advisor in Insurance designations.

A Coloradan by good fortune and good judgement, Jeff currently resides in Greenwood Village with his wife, Rita.
Michelle

As the Chief Marketing Officer, she guides all of the marketing efforts for the agency and provides inspirational leadership to the team. In the summer, Michelle loves going to outdoor music festivals with her husband and her daughter Maya. And in the winter, you’ll find her on the slopes. She has an MBA from The University of Michigan, a BFA from The School of Visual Arts in Graphic Design, and a BS from Syracuse University in Accounting.
Kenji
Kenji grew up in the Midwest and attended the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota. And while the region would undoubtedly like to lay claim for inspiring Kenji’s passion for travel and stylish living, he suspects the half decade spent teaching English overseas may have been more formative. Kenji brings years of high net worth insurance expertise with him from Chubb, where he focused on partnership development within the HNW space. He and his wife reside in Denver with their two children, Kenzo and Kaiya.
Tierney
A Hoosier by birth and Boilermaker by choice, Tierney attended Purdue University, where she was awarded the esteemed position of Purdue’s Golden Girl. She has been part of our production team since 2012 and is a graduate of the AIG Private Client Group Advanced University, and has attended multiple sessions of the Chubb Advanced Producer School.

Laurie
Laurie was the first agent in the state of Arizona to be awarded the designation of Certified Advisor of Personal Insurance through Wharton’s Executive Education program. Laurie prides herself on bringing a collaborative approach to working with her clients. She is dedicated to a consultative philosophy of advising rather than selling. Laurie loves traveling with her family and indulging her passion for interior design and baking.
Emily
Emily earned her BA degree from Colorado State University in 2003. Emily has valuable experience across the high net worth insurance space, especially in the excess markets, having worked directly with London brokers on placing a variety of complicated risks, and has a CISR (Certified Insurance Services Representative) designation.

She loves her adopted Shih-Tzu, Jacques, and enjoys spending time traveling with her family.
Gina
Gina spent over a decade in the hospitality industry before making the leap to insurance. As the Director of Operations & Talent, Gina’s north star is to nurture the climate of team chemistry and proactive hospitality that serve as the cultural core of narrative. Although born and raised a beach baby on the east coast, she loves exploring the mountains with her pups, Dizzy and Doughnut.
Linda
Linda started her insurance career in 1981 and is proud to say she’s been a team member at Denver Agency ever since. Her success is a result of her friendly, upbeat, and hospitable personality. From large businesses and commercial insurance portfolios to family-owned establishments, Linda has broad experience across multiple specialties. As a Colorado native, she enjoys the outdoors with her horses and playful goats. And of course, spending time with her husband, kids and grandkids.
Audra
Audra has been our claims manager since June of 2018. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics from The King’s College in New York City. Although she was born and raised in Colorado, she has no idea how to ski. In the unfortunate event of a claim, Audra is friendly, diligent and advice-driven in helping our clients each step of the way.
Leanna
Leanna studied both Psychology and Biology at Metropolitan State University, but was then lured by a career in luxury retail and fashion. Leanna joined the agency in 2016 and works on the Marketing team. When she’s not coordinating one of narrative’s events, she can be found enjoying a glass of bubbly with her husband, Christopher, or walking her two dogs around the city.
