From humble beginnings in the heart of central Montana, our family's journey in insurance spans four generations, each chapter marked by a commitment to service and expertise.
It all began in the 1930s when Leo McMeel Sr. established The Rocky Mountain Fire Insurance Company, catering to the needs of Montana's farmers and ranchers. With each passing decade, the torch was passed, from Leo Sr. to his son Leo Jr., who continued the legacy within a larger agency, honoring his father's dedication to Montana's agricultural community.
In 1979, Leo Jr. took a bold step, breaking away to establish an independent agency with his son-in-law, Reed Rydell. Over the following decades, Reed's steadfast dedication paved the way for the agency's continued growth and success.
In 2009, the reins were passed once more, as Mike and Di Rydell took the helm, steering the agency into the digital age while staying true to its roots. Today, as we honor our past, we're also focused on the future, leveraging our family's expertise to not only serve our clients but to educate and empower others through our online platform.
Our website stands as a testament to our family's enduring commitment ā€” a place where the wisdom amassed over generations meets the modern tools of education and empowerment. Together, we're not just safeguarding a legacy; we're ensuring it thrives, enriching the lives of those we serve and those who seek to learn.
