Pinnacle has earned Dave’s trust!
As the only mortgage provider endorsed by Dave Ramsey here in Minnesota, we have some of the same clients shared by Dave's ELPs. I met Troy in March and have since worked with Troy and staff agents to serve mutual customers. Troy and his crew at Pinnacle Insurance, ROCK. Call them today!
Pinnacle Insurance Agency is in my community, I try to keep my business local to help our community thrive. I was insured through another company for many years until my agent retired, the company was never the same. It is very important to have a good agent, I found that with Troy Thompson @ Pinnacle. Troy has a friendly personality, so willing to help with all insurance needs. Co-workers and staff are very helpful too!
New to Pinnacle - was introduced to Pinnacle after taking the Dave Ramsey course. Has been a good experience and they have been very customer friendly and handle everything for you. It's extra peace of mind to have someone you feel is trustworthy to work with. Thank you.
I highly recommend this agency and am totally confidence they will take care of my friends and family that I refer. This incredible team will always give you the best rate for your insurance.
Plus, on a side note, Troy and Sara really care about self improvement and being better versions of themselves and have passed along tips for me to grow my self. That is something that is very important to me!

Troy Thompson is in charge of Biz Development at Pinnacle Insurance. He loves helping others and seeing them improve and grow. That includes his teammates at Pinnacle, his clients, and his referral partners. He is a huge Dave Ramsey fan and has had the honor of being the ELP (Endorsed Local Provider) for Dave in Minnesota since 2010.
Troy loves spending time with his beautiful wife Sarah, as well as their 2 spirited children Taytum and Tye. One of Troy’s additional loves is football. He bleeds purple and can be found either at the game or glued to his TV when the Vikings play. He’s a bit sadistic as he seems to become a more ardent fan with every heart breaking defeat.
Sarah Thompson is the Chief of Operations at Pinnacle. Sarah started with Pinnacle Insurance in the Fall of 2015. She has a Bachelor’s in Human Resources and a P & C license. She is married to the tenacious Troy and has 2 children, Taytum and Tye.
Sarah’s hobbies include chasing her kids, baking cupcakes, and pancakes. She’s also an avid weight lifter so she can enjoy eating the cupcakes and keep up with chasing her kids. Sarah has also been known to dabble in a little karaoke herself.
