There are no magical formulas for enduring tragedy, but with God, Grit and Gratitude, Kimberly believes we can endure even the toughest storms in life. After enduring the death of her son, the life-threatening illness of her daughter, two divorces, a custody battle, breast cancer, and the foreclosure of her home, Kimberly has dedicated her life to helping people become spiritually and financially prepared in case the “big thing” happens.

Kimberly earned a B.A. from the University of Iowa and is currently licensed to sell health and life insurance in 23 states. Her award-winning agency, Kimsurance, has been recognized as a top agency in Orlando, Fl. Her career in health insurance began after she spent sixteen years as a pharmaceutical sales professional learning how to help patients find insurance coverage for their medications.

Since founding Kimsurance in 2016, Kimberly has helped countless individuals and small groups in multiple states choose appropriate products to ensure they are fully protected in case of an unforeseen event.

Her dream, however, is to inspire people to hold on to hope so they will never give up, no matter what comes their way. She took a major step toward that dream in 2022 when she published her first book called Altar'd. In this honest and raw memoir, Kimberly offers a sincere glimpse into her broken heart and her struggle to find, maintain, and rekindle real, everlasting hope so she could stay in the race of life.

When we feel like giving up because everyone and everything is against us, real hope makes the difference between living and dying. Kimberly discovered this kind of real hope is only found in one place ...at the altar of God.

The success of her book also jump started Kimberly's speaking career. Her recent Ted X talk focused on the moment between failure and future. Kimberly says that what we do in that moment determines everything. Her authentic presence and moving personal stories connect with the audience, and the participants are open to positive change as a result of her inspirational message of resilience and perseverance. She now speaks regularly at corporations, organizations, churches, schools and to sports teams where she mixes her commitment, grit and determination as an athlete and how those same characteristics got her through some of the toughest times in her life.

When Kimberly is not working or swimming, she enjoys traveling with her grown children, Torrey and Daniel, spending time with her cousins in Orlando, or spending time in Naples, Fl with her mom.

Kimberly lives in Orlando, Florida with two very spoiled Schipperkes and hopes to one day move to the beach.
