We have been serving the residents of Nanticoke and the surrounding areas for over 30 years. The agency was originally established by Ben Gwiazdowski, located on Lower Broadway in Nanticoke. As the business began to grow, Ben built a new office building at 824 E. Main Street, which is still our present location.
Rose Perkowski joined Ben in 1983 and Rich Simoncavage in 1993. Both Rich and Rose were born and raised in the Nanticoke Area and are active members of the community, in which they still reside today.
