There is no ‘I’ in team. Or Comstock.

Comstock is the people on these pages. While we provide a host of insurance and risk management products, our people are what make us us. Our agents get to know you, they make sure you have the best possible products for your needs and, most importantly, they are there when you need them.

And Comstock is there for you. We invest in ongoing training because we believe it brings more value to you. We are one of Nevada’s few insurance firms with Certified Insurance Counselors (CIC) – agents with additional training and certification from the National Alliance for Insurance Education & Research. The result is well-trained, knowledgeable agents who can better serve you. Not coincidentally, we have happy, long-term, loyal agents who believe in what Comstock does — just like our clients do.

Let’s get the initial introductions going here. Then, let’s meet in person. Our figurative tail is wagging in anticipation.

John Sweatt

President

The president of Comstock Insurance Agency is a third generation Reno native. But that’s just the beginning of his story. John is also a native of Comstock, as his father John founded the agency in 1957.

John knew from an early age that the Comstock door would always be open to welcome him in, yet he wanted to blaze his own trail…

Michael Herschbach

Agency Manager/Producer

On the surface, job titles like tractor driver, heavy equipment operator and plant operator don’t scream ‘amazing insurance producer and sales manager’. However, once you meet Mike, the combination makes perfect sense. As an insurance agent specializing in agriculture, Mike takes great care of his clients because he’s walked in their mud-caked shoes. He grew up working his dad’s farm in Chester, Illinois, until it sold when Mike was a teenager…

Judy Soracco

Finance Manager/Office Manager/Commercial Lines Manager

Judy’s story is a prime example of ‘everything happens for a reason’. Though her husband’s job was the official impetus for moving from Lodi, California to Reno in 1995, we feel like destiny played a big hand in the move. Judy’s 25-plus years with Comstock is all the proof we need.

She came to us with nearly a decade of experience in the insurance industry…

Joy Gardner

Employee Benefits Consultant

Joy found her true calling the moment she was hired by Comstock Insurance to do telemarketing. Her commercial work required her to get her Property and Casualty license. Being the go-getter that she is, she decided to get her Life and Health license at the same time. That turned out to be a smart move, as a vacancy in that department unexpectedly arose…

Insuk Lauer Commercial & Personal Lines Producer at Comstock Insurance

Insuk Lauer

Insuk tried to retire from the insurance biz in 2007, but as luck would have it, she just couldn’t stay away…
