Your Sparks Team
Sparks Insurance is owned and operated by the second generation of the Sparks Family. In the 50′s the founder, Don Sparks, starting in insurance in Iowa moved his family to Kenosha, WI to later start the current agency in 1968. Insurance has been in the family blood for many generations, as Don’s grandfather was an insurance agent at the turn of the 19th century.
Don’s daughter, Bonnie Knoedler and her husband, Lon Knoedler, currently own the agency. Bonnie had started working for her dad while in school and Lon joined the agency directly after finishing his last final test of college from the University of MN.
We hold a strong desire to learn about our customers individual needs that is enhanced with a strong on-going educational requirement of our team. Bonnie holds insurance licenses in most of the continental states.
