Announcing Spokane Regional Office

Parker, Smith & Feek is proud to announce the 2020 opening of a Spokane, Washington regional office. Our firm has long done business with prominent Inland Northwest companies, and we are very excited to expand our operations and offerings in insurance, employee benefits, and surety in the Lilac City. We will announce our new office location in the coming months.

The Spokane team will be led by longtime Spokane resident Greg Lagreid, who we are thrilled to have join the Parker, Smith & Feek team as an Account Executive. Greg has ten years of experience in risk management, including nonprofits and global manufacturing companies. In addition, Greg has extensive experience with captive insurance programs, specifically 831(b) captives, after managing the captive insurance operation at his previous employer. Greg graduated from Washington State University’s risk management and insurance program and is a founding board member of the Spokane Chapter of the Risk and Insurance Managements Society (RIMS).

Joining Greg to establish our Spokane team is Vice President and Account Executive Angela Samarel. Angela’s expertise lies in the construction industry, but she has experience managing a diverse cross section of key accounts. Her skill in coordinating the insurance submissions on large, complex accounts is highly valued by our account teams and clients alike. Angela began her insurance career in 1991 for an independent agent in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho and originally joined Parker, Smith & Feek in 1999. She is elated to be returning to her Inland Northwest roots.

Parker, Smith & Feek CEO and President, Dave Eckroth, said, “The Spokane market is a superb fit with many of our core industry strengths including food, manufacturing, and construction. Angela and Greg’s experience, familiarity with the region, and leadership skills are the perfect foundation to build a thriving operation.”

Adding their combined decades of experience to our growing presence in Spokane are Ron Lange and Nick King, both Principals and Vice Presidents of the firm. Each has already been visible in the Inland Northwest marketplace, Ron in construction, and Nick in real estate. They will lend their leadership and strategic direction to the new office, ensuring that Parker, Smith & Feek’s client and employee experience will be firmly ingrained in our newest location.
