How We Began

Warren F. Coe

Warren formed the agency in 1932, where he served as general agent until 1966. He pioneered the pension plan for use in closely held corporations in the 1940s. Shortly thereafter, he developed the concept known today as a "prototype" plan. He quickly became a nationally recognized leader in the pension and retirement plan business. Warren formed Warren F. Coe and Associates, a third-party administration agency specializing in the design and implementation of employee benefit plans. He played an active role in the organization until his death in 1983.

James H. Harwell

James served as general agent from 1966 until 1980 and expanded the already growing business.

James G. Osborne

Jim took over as general agent in 1976, and created Wisconsin Financial Group, Inc. This new venture broadened the range of services from a traditional life insurance company to include the many other varied services we offer today.  Jim retired as General Agent in February 2008.
