Brent Meeks has been a licensed Insurance Agent since 1990 and has been a part of Meeks Insurance Agency since July 1, 2003. Having the privilege to be part of this profession has provided him the opportunity to experience how an agency operates and responds to its customer’s needs as well as the devastating effects of a natural disaster upon an entire community. After a tornado practically leveled the city of Petersburg, Indiana in 1990, Brent learned how he could ease the fears and uncertainty and contribute to the mental, physical, and financial wellbeing of his family, his neighbors, and his community.

Brent holds a certification of a Certified Insurance Counselor, CIC. His vast experience spans several decades as he has worked as a front-line agent, supervisor, mentor, and owner.

Currently, Brent manages ISU Meeks Insurance Agency, a family owned and operated insurance agency providing hands-on experience to its customers.

Currently, ISU Meeks Insurance serves the insurance needs of many residents in the Wabash Valley and surrounding areas and works with individuals and businesses alike. Their office includes a state-of-the-art computer system for the safe keeping of personal and confidential records.

Beth Meeks

Beth Meeks

Beth has listed and sold real estate in Indiana and Illinois since 1984.

In May 2002, she boldly launched a real estate agency and a scratch insurance agency, simultaneously.

The agency has grown to 20 employees, a branch office in Princeton, Haubstadt & Franklin, and the home office in Vincennes. The agency has acquired 8 other agencies.

Beth feels that her primary role in the agency is to bring in new business for her agents and customer service representatives to estimate, engage, and manage. Beth offers professional real estate sales, as well as home, auto, life, health, commercial, farm, property, and casualty insurance. Beth Meeks defines herself as a professional sales agent in both insurance and real estate.
