LAKE CITY OFFICE
Tony Heise
Owner
I began working at Lakeshore Agency in 1998. Since joining Lakeshore Agency I have enjoyed working in our small community and being able to provide great personalized service to our customers as well as developing friendships along the way. I grew up on a farm near Lake City and still live on the farm with my wife Amy and three teenage children. Our family is very involved in sports and I have spent many years coaching my children. I look forward to working with you and helping you with any of your insurance needs.
Lance Meincke
Owner
I’ve been at Lakeshore Agency since October of 2007, how the time flies. I grew up on a dairy farm just a few minutes out of town and I’ve always enjoyed the area. I’m married and have 3 kids in school so things are quite busy. I coach youth basketball as well which keeps me out of trouble most of the winter months. I would love to discuss health, life, and farm or crop insurance with you so stop by anytime.
Amanda Meyer
Office Manager
I had been working part-time at Lakeshore Agency for just over a year before joining the team full-time October 2017. I am enjoying meeting our customers and building personal relationships within our small town community.
Having lived most of my life in Lake City, I have familiarized myself with our rural clients needs. Outside of work, talking sports with my two adult sons is common! I enjoy running (yes, for fun!) and spending time with family & friends with a game of cards.

New Business
I was born and raised in Lake City on a family farm that has since been converted to the Lake Pepin Golf Course. My husband, Chad and I have two adult children, Courtney and Shane. When I am not working, you can find me taking walks in the woods, reading, or spending time with family and friends.
I am committed to the client’s best interests and work to help them understand the insurance coverage lines we sell and how they are designed to fit into their overall situation.
With over 25 years of experience in the industry, I believe in helping everyone protect their most valuable assets. I like to increase awareness and recognition of common risk factors and build life-long relationships.

We both grew up in NE Kansas and have moved around the southern United States and enjoyed the South (Louisiana) prior to moving here. We have 3 school age children who keep us hopping with sports & activities.
I enjoy spending time on or near Lake Pepin, gardening, walking my dogs, coffee & reading.

GOODHUE OFFICE

I joined the Lakeshore Agency team in June 2007 where I work out of our Goodhue location servicing and selling crop, auto and farm insurance. I farm in the Goodhue area where my wife Lauren and I live. I serve on the Minnesota Corn Growers Association Board (past president 2013, 2014) along with serving on the National Corn Grower Public policy team. I am a member of the Goodhue Lions Club (past president 2013). In my free time I enjoy hunting with my wife and traveling. We are expecting our first child in December 2017.

I grew up on a farm in the Goodhue area, and went to school in Goodhue. After high school, I attended the University of Minnesota. I began working as a crop insurance agent in 2005, and joined the Goodhue Insurance team in 2012. Crop insurance has always been my specialty, but working at Goodhue Insurance has allowed me to expand into farm, home, and auto insurance as well. My wife Miranda and I have two kids in elementary school. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing sports, and working on the farm. I look forward to working with you on any of your insurance needs.
