Ariel Baer

Administrative Assistant

I am new to the insurance industry but am enjoying learning the ropes and working with expert mentors. As an English major, I have found my editing and clerical skills to be an invaluable asset in processing the needs of our clients and providing excellent service and prompt, precise communication. I’m glad to be a part of the Six & Geving team and to be learning from the very best the insurance industry has to offer.

In my free time, I enjoy writing young adult adventure novels, composing songs, creating digital paintings, and backpacking in the beautiful Rocky Mountain wilderness. I love living in Colorado; no matter where I travel in the world, I’m always drawn home to her mountains and sunshine. I am a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the love of my life and my inspiration for living and loving with joy, both within the workplace and without, and I am glad to be involved in a company that desires to imitate His standard of respect for the truth and for all people.

Shaleen Martin

Customer Service Representative

I have over 10 years experience in the insurance industry working with medium to large commercial property & casualty accounts.  My experience spans over a wide variety of risks, including but not limited to:  Construction of all types and nature, retail, manufacturing, specialty, technology, restaurants, building owners, and  habitational.  I am currently working as an active account manager, having worked with several hundred different accounts by providing technical knowledge, consulting, and daily service.  I strive to provide the highest quality customer service and to meet each need for each individual client.  I try to maintain long lasting customer relationships by communicating effectively and providing solutions to problems or issues that may arise.

Knowing that insurance is not an easy-to-understand industry, I try my best to help our clients understand what it is and why they need it.  Insurance is a necessary tool to help finance risk and having our clients know why they are buying it and having them know that they are protected from some of their greatest exposures is a great feeling.

On my down time, I enjoy shopping, reading books, playing with my dogs, hiking, biking, walking, traveling, and doing puzzles.

John Shockley

Agent

I have been in the insurance business for 37 years. I began my career as a Commercial Lines Underwriter for a large insurance company. After completing two years as an underwriter I knew I wanted to be in the Agency side of the business. I started my own Agency in my hometown of Beloit, Wisconsin. After several successful years, I sold the agency to move to Florida where I enjoyed success for 20 years. After weathering the hurricanes in 2004 and 2005 I decided it was time to move to Colorado in 2006. I have continued to pursue my career in Risk Management and Sales ever since. I am enjoying success here at Six & Geving Insurance. I enjoy working with my clients and finding ways to help more businesses improve their insurance program.

My areas of expertise are Contractors, Manufacturers and Commercial Agriculture. I have achieved the coveted designation of Certified Insurance Counselor (CIC). I continue to update my education and strive to stay up to date with latest changes and coverages in the insurance industry.

I am a Christian and am active in my local church. Helping people in all walks of life is important to the community whether it be in business or another area of life.

I look forward to working with you in your business pursuits and finding the right combination of coverages for your business insurance program.
