Meet Our Staff

In 1981, after graduating from Valparaiso University, I headed West to the beautiful Colorado rockies in hopes of launching my career and starting a family. It was here in Colorado, where I joined Xerox Corporation and specialized in strategic “sales” accounts for 24 years before launching the Lampard Agency with American Family. I then set out to develop a specialized independent agency, Avalue Insurance, which I founded in 2010.

I am a proud mother of three amazing children who inspire me everyday. I am often reminded when I look into the beautiful skies and climb our majestic mountains that their father is looking over us from heaven.

Sharon is Mission Control at Avalue. Sharon is our resident expert for commercial and personal lines when called upon. Sharon has over 32 years of commercial and personal lines experience. She is passionate about helping others and is always up for challenges and adventures. She loves being married to Dan and has 2 children and 4 grandchildren. In her spare time she golfs, cooks for crowds, plays bridge and volunteers at the Habitat for Humanity Community Store.

Diane is our first responder to clients. While she has lived in Colorado for 15 years, she hails from Texas which will be obvious when you talk to her on the phone! Diane focuses on our personal lines clients, both new and existing. She has had various positions here in Colorado and even lived in Costa Rica for 4 years. She is a previous owner of a Sylvan Learning Center and worked at other insurance companies recently. If you need help with your houseplants, don’t hesitate to ask Diane as she loves to garden, volunteer-especially with seniors, walk, and read in her spare time.
