President / Operations
After graduating in 1984 from Lock Haven
University in Pennsylvania with a BA in Political
Science, Trish served three years as a legal clerk in the US
Army Judge Advocate General (JAG) Corps in Bad
Krueznach, Germany, specializing in administrative and
contract law. In 1990, Trish moved with her family to
Sacramento, CA, and joined Fireman’s Fund Insurance
Companies as a loss control consultant. Subsequent
promotions and transfers over her 11-year career moved Trish
and her children to San Jose and on to Fireman’s Fund’s
corporate headquarters in Novato, CA, to underwrite
insurance programs for national accounts. In 2001
Trish and her kids left the city lights of the Bay behind
and moved to Central Oregon for the quiet beauty of the
Cascade Mountains and the ease of rural living. She joined
COLM Commercial in 2001 as a broker assistant and later
became a commercial property manager and leasing agent. She
would return to insurance as a licensed producer in 2004,
but in November 2006, Trish returned to COLM in November
2006, where she happily applies her legal, insurance, and
real estate background to the daily operations of COLM.
