Marianne Viola -


30+ years in insurance. Which means there's a good chance I've already solved the problem you're about to tell me.

My mission is simple: keep you smiling and make insurance the least stressful part of your life. Home, auto, business, life—or whatever on earth needs protecting—I've got you covered.

I'm also the V.P. of NSIA... because apparently I don't believe in free time.

People often think I'm tough. They're not wrong. But beneath the toughness, is probably the kindest person you'll ever meet

I call Zeeshan "Boss." He calls me "The BOSS." And between the two of us..I think he's got it right !

When I'm not talking insurance, you'll probably find me reading. My favorite book is Theo of Golden by Allen Levi. If you've read it, we'll get along just fine. If not, consider this your next recommendation.

I bring over 13 years of experience in sales and service—and I genuinely love what I do.Selling insurance and houses is my forte, but what I really love is helping people... especially the kind and nice ones. If you're annoying, I might get annoyed too. Don't worry though—I’ll still help you.

According to Zeeshan, my vocabulary deserves a 7-star rating. His spelling, on the other hand... is a work in progress. You're welcome, Zeeshan.

My biggest goal is to make sure you completely understand your insurance policy. No confusion, no surprises—just honest advice and a little extra effort that'll hopefully make you think, "Yep... I'm referring this person to everyone I know."

I also sell protection... I mean, insurance. Freudian slip?

Some people say I might just be your favorite person at NSIA. I'm not saying they're right... but I'm not saying they're wrong either.

I sound pretty straight forward though I like to take scenic routes when driving to places !!!

Hi! I'm Fidel... not the plant! Although, we do have a few things in common –I can thrive in almost any environment.


My mission is simple: to help you make confident decisions about the right insurance and the right coverage. I believe in being transparent, fair, and honest in every interaction, and You’ll notice that from the very first conversation.


With over 10 years of sales and customer service experience in the insurance industry, I've learned that great advice is just as important as a great policy. Zeeshan insists I was a voice-over artist in a past life—I won't argue with him!


My favorite people in the world are my wife and kids. My neighbor... well, we're still working on that. But I'm sure Zeeshan will make it onto the favorites list one day! When I'm not helping clients, you'll probably find me planting trees, harvesting in the garden, or enjoying a good swim.


Thanks for stopping by and taking a moment to get to know me. Now that we've been introduced... how about I help you save money while making sure your home and auto are properly protected? Can I prepare a quote for you?


Armen Aghwat -


My life is pretty simple: I watch soccer, sell insurance, and cheer for people who bundle and save... bonus points if you can kick a football too.


With 5+ years in insurance, I'm your go-to guy for all things coverage. Just call me—I'll take care of the rest.


Fun fact: I'm surprisingly good at training pit bulls. Mine, however, didn't get the memo... we're still negotiating who's training whom.


Ewan Shaje -


I bring 6+ years of experience in car sales and insurance—and a few other talents... but we'll save those stories for later.


According to Zeeshan, I'm a pretty interesting guy. According to me, my biggest mission is beating Armen in sales. (Nothing personal, Armen.)


I believe the best sales happen with genuine care, honest advice, and zero pressure. If it's truly the right fit for you... consider it sold. You won't even realize it happened.


Zeeshan Salehjee -


From managing risk to structuring mergers and acquisitions, Zeeshan has spent nearly two decades helping businesses grow strategically across the America, Asia, and Africa as a trusted Global Strategic Advisor


Insurance isn't just what Zeeshan does—it's what he's mastered. With decades of hands-on industry experience, he has helped individuals, families, and businesses protect what they've worked a lifetime to build.


 He's known for being refreshingly direct, brutally honest, and always getting straight to the point. Around here, he's the anchor that keeps the ship steady. Outside the boardroom, he's a proud philanthropist and an even prouder dad to his twin boys. Whether he's building businesses or chasing adventures with them, one thing never changes—he leads with purpose, strategy, and heart!


Asma Aziz -


8+ years of work experience, three hats, and countless stories later—I still can't decide what I enjoy more: recruiting great people, training them to become more competent or helping clients make smarter insurance decisions. Building high-performing teams is my forte, but building trust with clients is what I value most.


Insurance, to me, isn't about selling policies—it's about helping people protect everything they've worked so hard to build. My goal is to simplify the fine print, answer every question, and make sure you walk away feeling confident, not confused.


I'm an avid traveller, so when I'm not connecting people with opportunities, I'm probably planning my next adventure trip !
