Means Financial & Insurance Services is an independent, family-built brokerage. For over four decades we have delivered personalized insurance and financial guidance with a simple promise: we work for you.
Mark I. Means started his insurance career in 1979 and built Means Financial & Insurance Services on a belief that has never changed: clients are partners, not policy numbers. What began as one advisor in Southern California grew into a full-service, independent brokerage trusted by families and business owners across five states.
Today, with Mark recently retired, partners Carlie Scharing and Brock Means carry on the legacy he founded over 40 years ago – backed by a close-knit team that treats every client like family. Because we are independent, we are free to shop many carriers and recommend only what is right for you.
The people behind your peace of mind.
