Meet Terry & Michelle: The Dynamic Duo Behind OIA

Terry and Michelle O’Connor are more than just business partners; they’re a husband-and-wife team who have built a legacy in the insurance industry through their agency, O’Connor Insurance Associates. Since its inception in January 2000, the pair’s agency has grown into a Best Practices Agency, recognized for its operational excellence and commitment to customer service.

For many, the idea of blurring the lines between work and personal life would be a recipe for disaster. Yet, for Terry and Michelle, this unique dynamic has become their superpower. By embracing the strengths and weaknesses that come with working together as a married couple, they’ve cultivated a partnership that is both personally fulfilling and professionally successful.

Working Together for 20+ Years (And Not Losing Our Minds)

Terry and I have been married for over two decades, and for most of that time, we've also been business partners. It's a feat many might consider brave—or crazy. Yet, here we are, still smiling, still laughing, and still running a successful insurance agency together. Our journey hasn't been without its challenges, but we've learned a thing or two about what it takes to thrive in both business and marriage.

Growing Together

As we evolve, we're reminded that our partnership is not just about business; it's about building a stronger us. Through the ups and downs, we've learned to communicate more effectively, to trust each other implicitly, and to find joy in the journey. Our growth as individuals and as a couple has been a beautiful byproduct of our business partnership.

Building a Legacy

We remain committed to our core values of service, integrity, and loyalty. Our legacy has never been just about business achievements but the relationships we’ve built and the community we’ve served together. We hope to continue to inspire and support other couples in building successful businesses together.
