Jennifer

“In 2017, I started my new agency. In just a short time, it has grown from one employee to several employees. My passion is saving clients money and getting them the best insurance policy tailored to their situations. Choosing the right insurance agent can significantly affect price, service, and headaches!”

Jennifer Massey, owner of JM Insurance Group, was introduced to the insurance industry in 1996, selling life insurance as an internship in college. She also worked part-time for a captive insurance agency, assisting home and auto policyholders. She was a financial adviser and a mortgage lender before starting her career in personal lines in 2005. Jennifer is active in the community, serving on several boards of directors, including Rebuilding Together, The Family Tree Center, The Festival of Trees, and currently volunteering with the Billings Downtown Association. She is a breast cancer survivor and dedicates her time to Relay for Life and the Pack the Mall in Pink event. Her summertime is spent camping, hiking, fishing, and going to Mustangs games. She plays softball and is serious about watching NFL football!

Jennifer graduated from Montana State University with a marketing degree. She has her AINS designation for general insurance and is working on the CPCU designation, which is, in a sense, a Master’s of Insurance.

Lydia

Lydia Brester is a trusted insurance professional with a heart as big as the Montana sky. She joined us in the Spring of 2024. Born in West Virginia but raised in Michigan, she found her true home here in Montana in 2006 and has never looked back.

As a devoted boy mom, she knows the value of protecting what matters most. From mid-March to the end of October, you’ll catch her cheering at the diamond or excitedly watching from the 50-yard line. When she’s not occupied with the world of sports, she enjoys motorcycle rides accompanied by her husband of eleven years.

She treasures family time and enjoys crafting in her spare time. With every decision she makes, Lydia strives to create a legacy that her children will be proud of.

Karie

Starting in sunny small-town California in her early life, Karie Barstow is now proud to call the wide-open ranges of Montana home. Her life has been an incredibly journey. Her four boys and two grandsons are the “why” in everything that she does. As a committed animal lover, when she is not helping customers find the coverage that works best for them, you’ll likely find her with her dogs.
 
Her background is a bit unique. She holds a BSCJA in Criminal Justice and brings the same dedication and thoroughness to her insurance-related services. She holds a license for Property, Casualty, and Surety lines of insurance, and is ready to help those in search of new coverage, or those who need help with their current policies. Her wide perspective and lived experience affords her an attention to detail that is key to ensuring that people are taken care of properly.

Having navigated the world of business ownership herself during her own ventures, she understands the importance of having a reliable agent in her corner. She is here to bring an optimistic and helpful approach to ensuring you have the peace of mind you deserve!
