This month we are recognizing Quinton LaCrose from Madigan/Pingatore Insurance Services. Quinton has been a wonderful addition to our Ambassador club! Learn more about him here:
I’m born and raised in Sault Ste. Marie, MI and a graduate of Sault Area High School. I attended Davenport University in Grand Rapids studying forensic accounting, before transferring to Lake Superior State University to study finance & economics. While at LSSU, I served as the President of the Investment Club and sat as the Finance Chair of the President’s Council. I started in the insurance industry in 2016 and began with Madigan/Pingatore Insurance Services in 2018, where I’m presently employed as a Commercial Lines Producer. I am also employed as a broadcast engineer with Bridge FM here in the Sault for local area high school sports broadcasts. In my free time I enjoy getting outdoors, camping, and any type of motorsports.
