Dave Sr started the agency in May 1982 as a scratch agent for Erie Insurance. He holds a BA from UMD, College Park where he met his wife and business partner, Sandi. Prior to starting his own agency he was a sales professional for Liberty Mutual, and then for a life insurance brokerage. Before he stepped into the insurance field, he was recruited as a manager for a Merchants Tire & Auto retail shop. In May 1982 he and Sandi opened up David Stump Insurance Agency, or “Stump Insurance” an Independent Agency in their residence home in Poolesville MD. Raising their five children was a whirlwind of school and sports and schedules. Dave was always there on the sidelines cheering. He and Sandi now share the delight that accompanies six grandchildren. With 35 years as an independent insurance agent representing more than 7 outstanding insurance companies among 9 states , Dave Sr says he thanks God for the daily privilege to work with his wife, Sandi, son, Dave Jr (since 2005), and daughter, Marie (since 2009), to continue to provide customer service and insurance sales to the clients of Stump Insurance.
