What we cover

Six lines. One agent. Zero runaround.

Every policy quoted across 15+ carriers, explained in plain English before you sign anything.

Auto

Daily drivers, work trucks, teen drivers, Highway 95 winters. Multi-car and bundle discounts found automatically.

Home

Starter craftsman to forest-edge acreage — replacement cost, wildfire smarts, and snow-load reality baked in.

Renters

From $12 a month. Your landlord's policy covers the building — this one covers everything you own inside it.

Life

Term life priced in ten minutes, sized to the mortgage and the kids — not to a commission table.

Fun vehicles

Boats, sleds, UTVs, campers, motorcycles. Agreed value, trail liability, and winter layup rates.

Umbrella & more

Extra liability from $1M, small business coverage, landlord policies — if it needs insuring, ask.

Sam Whitaker, owner of Trailhead Insurance
First generation, on purpose

Hi, I'm Sam. This is my first agency — that's the point.

I spent eight years at a big captive carrier, quoting one company's prices whether they fit or not. I opened Trailhead in 2024 to do the opposite: one small independent shop, every major carrier on the screen, and the same person — me — from first quote to worst-day claim. No book of business I inherited. Every client here chose this agency, and I intend to keep earning that.

How it works

Three switchbacks to covered.

01

Tell Sam what you've got

Ten minutes, phone or coffee. House, cars, the boat, the sled — everything gets on the list.

02

Watch the market work

The same coverage spec goes to 15+ carriers. You see the real numbers side by side.

03

Sign once, breathe easy

Plain-English walkthrough, then Sam re-shops it every single renewal. No loyalty tax, ever.

The fun stuff

If it has a throttle, a hull, or a hitch.

Around here the driveway is half the balance sheet. One policy review covers all of it — agreed value on the toys, liability on the trails, and layup discounts for the months under a tarp.

Early reviews

Small book. Big effort.

★★★★★

"Sam quoted our house and both cars against eleven carriers and walked us through the two that made sense. Saved $1,100 and I finally understand my deductible."

— Kelsey M., Coeur d'Alene
★★★★★

"New agency, but you'd never know it. Called about adding a sled at 4pm, had the binder before dinner."

— Dustin R., Hayden
★★★★★

"He told me NOT to buy a coverage I didn't need. From an insurance guy. I'll be a client for life."

Got it — Sam will call you today. ⛰
