A short time after returning from a once in a lifetime trip to the Iberian peninsula, Luz Marina and I were walking our usual lake edge route and talking about the impact of our travels and the importance of becoming better agents for our clients.

We agreed during our walk that the creation of our own insurance company guided by Christian ideals and an embodiment of the courage and humility we discovered in the treasured past of the religious sanctuary of Covadonga in Asturias, Spain was a calling.

In honor of that historic example of solving great problems with prayer and surrender to God’s will, with the implored help of our Immaculate Lady, we call our own small partnership “Pelayo.”
