James Whitfield
Founder & CEO
Founded in 2009 with a simple promise: honest advice, competitive rates, and an agent who answers when you call.
Summit Shield Insurance started as a boutique agency in Denver and has grown into a nationally licensed brokerage — placing over 22,000 policies annually while keeping the personal service that earned our first clients' trust.
As an independent agency, we're not tied to any single carrier. That means we shop 40+ A-rated insurers on your behalf and recommend coverage based on your needs, not our commission structure.
When Solena Digital rebuilt our digital presence with coverage-specific landing pages and lead-optimized quote funnels, we saw cost per lead drop 38% in six months — and our advisors spend more time serving clients, not chasing cold leads.

We believe insurance should be transparent, accessible, and built around real relationships — not automated phone trees and hidden fees.
