After graduation from Ferris State University in 1985 with two degrees, I entered the insurance business as an Account Executive. In 1990 I joined a professional insurance trade association where I spent 15 years in various positions; concluding my career there as President of their for-profit subsidiary. In May of 2005 I joined NuStar where I am primarily responsible for all aspects of our Sales force and offices. I feel very fortunate to work with an outstanding sales force and staff and look forward to each workday. I am married with two children; one in college and the youngest finishing up High School. I enjoy meeting and getting to know people and spending time with my family and friends. In my spare time you will find me pursuing my passion for traditional archery, hunting, fishing, golfing and pretty much anything to do with the outdoors.
Hi and thank you for viewing my profile. I’ve been with NuStar for 34 years and was the former CEO and Principal of NuStar Insurance. I love to help clients navigate their business insurance needs and leverage my 34 years in commercial experience to provide you the best product for the best price. The most rewarding part of my insurance career is that I have a responsibility to my clients to make sure their business has adequate coverage and at a fair price. Outside of work, I enjoy taking advantage of what Michigan has to offer: skiing, biking, hiking, boating, and spending time with my beloved wife and kids.
I received a BA in Business Administration from Central Michigan University in 1982. Since that time, I have been in the property and casualty insurance business providing tailored insurance products to meet the specific needs of my business clients. I received my Accredited Advisor of Insurance (AAI) designation in 1984. From there I furthered my insurance education by earning my Chartered Property Casualty Underwriters (CPC) designation in 1992, the Certified Insurance Counselor (CIC) degree in 2008 and the Licensed Insurance Counselor (LIC) degree the same year. My business practice is not to simply quote a premium, but, rather design a policy that fits my clients specific needs.
If you are a discerning business owner, please call or email me.
James has been an agent for over 28 years and with NuStar for just over 10 years. He throughly enjoys helping out his clients navigate through their problems and putting their mind at ease. He is outstanding in helping insureds with their home, auto, life, and umbrella policies and puts an emphasis on relationships. When he isn’t involved in the world of insurance you can find him on the golf course or traveling up and down the state for his daughter’s bowling career.
Hi, my name is Jifan Starkey and I graduated from Beijing Teachers College with a BA in Linguistics. I entered the insurance business in 2002 as a multi line agent, which means I can help you with all your insurance needs. I am currently taking classes to earn my Certified Insurance Counselor (CIC) designation. I live in Novi with my husband, one dog and two turtles. I enjoy meeting new people and helping them with their insurance needs. I also enjoy reading and listening to music and I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty. My friends call me a weekend warrior! Give me a call or send me an email and I will put my insurance knowledge to work for you to earn your business and trust.
I started my insurance career in 1994. I joined the Nustar family in 2010 as an Account Manager. I specialize in personal lines and commercial lines. I take pride in building relationships with my customers, to know their families, their business and their needs. I don’t believe in giving you a ‘quote’ I prefer to review your coverages with you. After all, NuStar’s trademark is to cover your ASSets!
I do a lot of volunteer work for our military and belong to the Selfridge Air National Guard Base Community Council as part of their executive board. I believe in supporting those who support us.
I appreciate my customers and look forward to long lasting relationships with them and their families.
I have been with Nustar since 2006 and have never looked back. I provide all levels of care to my clients individually; you will have my cell phone number on our first meeting. I love working with customers on their home, auto, and business insurance needs to make sure they are covered properly and understand their coverages. Insurance can be a dauting task to understand and wrap your head around. I like to sit down and educate my clients so they can feel comfortable with their insurance needs. When I’m away from work, I enjoy hunting, golfing, and being with my family and friends.
I attended the University of Minnesota and played football while I earned a BA in Economics in 1976. Upon graduation, I took a position with a local bank where I sold multi-lines insurance to new and existing customers. While at the Bank Agency, I was recruited to play professional football with the Cleveland Browns. After several years with the Browns I was cut from the team at which time I eagerly returned to my Insurance profession which I enjoyed.
Working with people to help them match insurance to their individual and family needs is extremely rewarding and what drew me back to this business where I have been the last 20 years.
My commitment is to work with my clients designing products to meet specific need! I am not satisfied until the Client is! I am also committed to be there when you need me which is why I list my cell number on my business cards and encourage my clients to call me anytime. Give me a call and experience the Chuck Senkyr difference.
I have been in the client relation services profession since I was 20 years old when I first started as a mortgage loan officer, then an account executive, a broker owning my own mortgage firm and now an insurance agent since 2010. I have helped hundreds of families achieve their goals in purchasing and refinancing their homes and have been helping families secure the best insurance coverages with the lowest pricing through NuStar since 2018! Hearing people tell me how much money they have saved and how happy they are with my services is my motivation! As I have done all throughout my career for others, I’d like to do for you! Outside of helping my clients with their mortgage and insurance, I am quite the sports fanatic and love watching/playing all sports.
