Jason Janus
Co-Founder
Jason Janus founded the agency in 2011 after serving 12 years in the Marine Corps, bringing military discipline and commitment to Michigan insurance. He leads with a simple philosophy: insurance should be straightforward, honest, and tailored to each client's unique situation. Under his leadership, the agency has grown from a one-person operation to a trusted local resource, renamed Janus Insurance Agency in 2014 to better reflect their family-owned approach. Jason focuses on strategic growth and carrier relationships, ensuring the agency can offer comprehensive coverage options while maintaining their signature personal service. His background informs every client interaction, whether that's helping a new business owner secure proper liability coverage or ensuring a family's home is adequately protected. For Jason, insurance isn't just about policies; it's about providing peace of mind through reliable, transparent protection.
