“I’m ecstatic to bring a better way to shop for insurance to Kansas,” said Schabel. “As a Brightway Agency Owner, I’m able to offer consumers more choice in insurance brands than they’ll find anywhere else. And, with Brightway’s backend support, I’m able to focus on helping consumers find the best coverage to protect their financial futures.”
