GMM Insurance—About Us
Marilyn Gray As the immediate past president and current board member of the West Metro Chamber of Commerce in West Columbia, she is one of the most recognizable faces in the community, balancing her time between civic duty and professional service.

“Our customers are part of our family. We look out for them. We value each customer as an individual and work hard for them. We started this agency to serve people. We really care that we do what is right for you.”
Shawn Miller Shawn is a licensed Community Residential Care Administrator, and GMM’s specialization in long-term care insurance is due in no small part to his background and expertise in the industry. A husband to Cindy Miller and father of three beautiful daughters, Miller is also active in the community, serving as president of the Golden Hills Men’s Golf Association. “I always try to put myself in my customers’ situation and treat my customer as I would want to be treated. Our goal is to help the customer decide which risks they want to transfer and which they want to assume for themselves. Through personal interaction with the customer we will make sure that you know exactly what coverage(s) are available to cover the risk.”
Teresa Smith Teresa is a member of the newly formed arm of Lake Murray Lions Club, an Ambassador for the West Metro Chamber of Commerce, and a member of the Lexington Chamber of Commerce, where she also serves on the Gala and Golf Committees. She is a visitor's hostess for the capital city chapter of Business Network International, a member of the Brookland-Cayce Bearcats Booster Club and of the Airport Education Foundation Committee, and she is an active member of Mt. Hebron United Methodist Church. "I'd recommend people choose a GMM agent to become THEIR insurance agent because we genuinely care about our customers. We build personal relationships with our customers and are always in contact with them. Our staff sends out birthday and holiday cards throughout the year to let them know that we appreciate them and the business that they have entrusted us with. Lastly, the office employees at GMM go out of their way to make sure that all of the day-to-day processing of business is handled in a timely fashion."
Steve Highberger “We want to build relationships with our clients so that we become trusted advisors, not just one of the hundreds of other agents and agencies out there,” he says. Steve is a devoted family man, husband to Jamie Highberger and father of one daughter and two sons. An active member of Chapin United Methodist Church, he also is a member of the Chapin Chamber of Commerce.
Penny joined GMM in 2010 and has sold property and casualty insurance since 2006. A loving wife and mother of two teenage boys, she says her hobbies mainly include supporting her children, much of the time through active participation in the Chester Youth Soccer Alliance. “I believe in getting to know your customers, listening to their needs and providing them with service that promptly meets those needs. It’s all about building a long-term relationship for the future. I believe people should consider GMM for their insurance needs because we will take the time to sit down with them one on one and get to know them. It’s not just about find customers, but rather creating a lasting friendship. We represent many different insurance companies, which gives us the ability to find the best combination of price, coverage and service to meet our clients’ needs.”
Fred Mansperger brings to the table 30 years experience as a business owner in the state of Maryland. Presently a commercial insurance agent and licensed in personal and life, he understands the needs and concerns of other business owners. Aside from insurance, he knows that good customer service is the key to a long-term business relationship no matter the business. Fred and his wife Jamie, originally from Columbia, have returned “home” and reside in northeast Columbia. They are the proud parents of four grown children.
Joanie Shealy has been with GMM since the beginning, serving as an office manager at first and progressing gradually into the insurance business. Joanie now specializes in commercial lines, splitting her time between agent's duties and office administration.
