A family owned independent insurance agency since 1946

Building a Legacy

Starting out as a hardworking farmer, Adolph Ansay recognized the potential in the rolling hills and open farmland of his region. He went on to become a successful businessman and was instrumental in shaping the insurance industry in Wisconsin. Guided by the family mantra, “You have to give to get,” he invested his time, resources, and heart not only into improving the land he called home but also into serving his community through charitable works in Ozaukee County and building a lasting business. This mindset guided the founding of Ansay & Associates, and over the 75+ years since, the agency has grown to serve over 14,000 businesses and 35,000 individual customers across Wisconsin, Minnesota, Upper Michigan, and Florida.

Today, Mike Ansay, Adolph’s son and current CEO & Chairman, carries forward his father’s philosophy, emphasizing hard work, integrity, and a commitment to helping people. Under his leadership, the agency has remained rooted in its founding values while expanding its reach and resources to better serve clients. “Our business is about helping people,” Mike said. “If you work hard and do the right thing by customers, you’ll have success. That’s how you build a company for over 75 years—and for the next 75 years.”

Continuing the family legacy, Mike’s children play key leadership roles across the Ansay family of businesses. Rachel Ansay is Vice President for Ansay & Associates overseeing Strategy and Operations for Commercial Lines and Employee Benefits. Kate Ansay leads Ansay Development Corporation, a family-owned entrepreneurial business specializing in the acquisition, development, and management of residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural real estate in communities throughout Southeastern Wisconsin. Nick Ansay manages sales of Ansay Development’s residential properties through Suzanne Powers Real Estate while also serving as Compliance Director for Ansay International—a full-service importing, sales, and brand management company helping international, particularly Luxembourg-based, businesses distribute their products in the U.S. marketplace. Together, they carry forward their grandfather’s vision, ensuring that the Ansay name continues to stand for integrity, growth, and service for generations to come.
