“This new partnership with Confie Seguros provides Vern Fonk Insurance the capital it needs to continue to expand the company by targeting strategic acquisitions and opening new locations in high growth areas in Washington and Oregon,” said Kevin Mulvaney, who will remain president and CEO of Vern Fonk.
