Jessica Colo
 I have a passion for encouraging agents to grow and retain business while reducing overhead costs. I’m always looking for new opportunities to learn and grow personally while helping others along the way. Outside of work you can find me spending time with family, friends, animals, or really doing anything fun and active! No challenge is too great as my competitive spirit keeps me afloat.

Justin Wilberger
I am a Nebraska City boy at heart. Give me a cup of coffee and a porch and life is good. I believe in taking care of people and everything after that seems to fall into place. I am driven by the fact that I know when working with an agent they are always in the best hands with the OCI team. Fall football, Spring golf, and Summer near water with family and friends are a few of my favorite pastimes. I look forward to the opportunity to help you grow your business and take care of you as you do your own clients.

Randy Somercik
I am passionate about helping people. Where there is a need I will work to help. Whether it is a social project, business project, physical fitness project, home improvement project…I will do what I can to help. My motto is: I am third; God is first, family, friends and others second, I am third. Investing time with family, reading any type of book and learning new skills is how I spend my free time. Now for a mind twister: I am married to my sister’s husband’s sister. Do the math, it works and has for over 30 years.

Todd Drapal
 As a student of the health insurance industry for over 30 years, I am passionate about assisting employers and insurance brokers with controlling health care costs through self-funded health insurance plans. My knowledge of the health care law combined with past experience has allowed me to serve insurance brokers and employers more completely, in an increasingly complex health insurance industry. When I’m not completely focused on work, my lovely wife, Piper, and I enjoy traveling and visiting our grandchildren as often as we can.

Before I started at OCI, I was a producer out in the field. This experience gives me unique insight as to what an agent needs to help their presentations go as smoothly as possible. When I’m not helping brokers, you can find me at a concert or just about every home Husker football game with a frosty beverage in hand.

I never shy away from a challenge and love to be the first to solve the problem. Maybe that’s why I enjoy working on the Financial Solutions team at OCI so much. No two problems are the same! When I’m not helping our brokers and staff at the office, I’m spending time with my 2 kids, staying active, and being outside.

My “It’s Always Sunny” and “30 Rock” quote game is absolute madness. I am an Account Executive here at OCI and I love what I do. My day consists of collaborating with our brokers to ensure we provide them a product that will blow their clients away. If I’m not working I’m listening to music and throwing down in the kitchen.

Born in Chicago, raised all over the map. That’s probably why I’m always on the hunt for my next big adventure. And thankfully since joining OCI, I’ve found it! I have a passion for helping people and solving difficult situations, and I’m able to do just that every day in the office. Outside of work, you can find me booking my next vacation with my husband, getting tackled by my oversized golden retrievers, or finding the next best restaurant in Omaha.

It’s 3:00 AM and you are in the Emergency Room and you are advised that you are not eligible for benefits. Take an aspirin and call me in the morning and I guarantee I will get your issue resolved.
Your dog has eaten your ID card and you need to see your primary physician. Call me and I will get you an alternate ID number and advise you on getting a temporary ID card.
While on vacation in France, you get very ill and you have to pay the hospital expenses. Upon returning to the U.S., contact me and I will help you get reimbursed so that you can replace your i-Phone that you lost at the hospital.

Having recently joined OCI I can honestly say I am glad to be here. In the ever-changing world of insurance, the one thing I am sure of is that this a team that can get it done! When I’m away from the office I can be found reading or spending time outdoors. My newest hobby is that I am in the process of learning to golf. Favorite quote: Life should be measured not by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away.

 While I never thought I would find myself in the insurance world, here I am! I love that what we do helps people when they need it most. Every day I get to learn from the best. My 6 favorite F’s are Faith, Family, Friends, Fitness, Food, and Fashion. I enjoy traveling with my husband and trying to keep up with our 6 kids. Some say it keeps us young, but I say they make us tired.

 Hi there! My name is Taylor and I am a lover of sushi, dogs, horror movies, and video games. If I could make my bio all about sushi and puppies, I would. But going the more professional route, some might say I am determined and proactive, which is definitely needed in the Renewals Department to get things done on time!

OCI came into my life at the perfect moment, I was trying to find my niche in the world and never imagined it would involve working with insurance. I am grateful to be a part of a welcoming and joyful environment, surrounded by beautiful people. When I am not at work, you can find me with my amazing family, friends, and fur babies making memories, preferably with a cocktail planning our next vacation.

I spent 19 years in retail because it was tough work that taught me a lot about myself and being a leader. I stayed in retail because I could see the impact I created with the people I served. That’s when I realized my passion was about impacting people – and so Human Resources became my natural path. Here at OCI, I’ve found a new family and I just hope that I can have an impact on these humans as I did in my 19 years of retail. When I’m not at work, I love being with my favorite people – my husband, Josh, of 12 years, and my 3 kids, Parker, Emma, and Levi. You’ll find us gamin as a family either on the XBOX or playing board games. When I need time for me… you’ll catch me at my happy place – the theater. Movie magic is my passion.
Family always comes first for me. This is even more prevalent with recently having a baby, who takes so much of my time (I love every bit of it!) Outside spending time with loved ones, I love to relax and take some time to wind down and listen to podcasts or watch movies/tv shows. I am pretty much a home body BUT I have to admit going on hikes/camping, especially whenever my family travels to Colorado, will always have a place in my heart.
Adventure enthusiast, lover of the outdoors, proud mama and wife. I have a numbers brain but love helping people. At OCI, that allows me to translate the DRs and CRs into meaningful information everyone can understand!
I’m just a simple Midwest girl! As a wife to Billy, and a proud mom to Kaylee and Will, most of my time outside of work is spent with my little family. I love to spend time outdoors, travel to visit family, listen to live music, exercise in our home gym and get together with our friends, family and neighbors (while enjoying a glass of Prosecco or the like).
I enjoy challenging myself in all kinds of ways. My wonderful wife and amazing children provide me with two of my most important challenges: being a good husband and father. They provide me with a lot of motivation to be the best I can be. One of my newest challenges: mastering my current role as the commissions’ administrator here at OCI. The work is rewarding, the people here are great, and I feel blessed to be here. Beyond that, you might find me trying to get my 5K run time back down to what it was when I was 18 (I’ve been trying for a long, long time) or putting together a scale model (yes, there are people who still do that).
A graduate from Kansas State University, when things didn’t work out for me to become a rapper or a point guard for the Chicago Bulls or LA Lakers, I knew the financial services industry was where I needed to be. Having been an agent for over 20 years, I enjoy and appreciate the opportunity to work with other agents because I can relate to them. I believe that having field sales experience puts me at a competitive advantage and proves once again that OCI is so much more than your typical IMO. I have been married to my high school sweetheart, Abie, for over two decades. We have 3 children: Jameson, Meredith, and Garret. We spend each day teaching them that being a KU fan is just not ok.
Graduated from the University of Nebraska – Lincoln with a degree is sociology, was told I’d be a good teacher, then ended up in insurance. Close enough! I go to OCI every day and get to work with some pretty awesome personalities. While I’m not in the office, I spend my time eating brunch with my friends, outdoor activities and getting tag teamed by my two cats.
I found my niche in the insurance world after my previous experience at LFG, but I am excited to see how I will broaden my horizons even more here with the great people at OCI! In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my friends, taking walks with my dog, or just getting cozy at home listening to my favorite music.
I found OCI at the perfect time. I was in the legal profession dealing with things that left me feeling empty. Working at OCI has lifted my spirits and made me feel a part of something. Although I am new to the world of Medicare, I will always do what I can to find what you are looking for. When I am off the clock I enjoy being a dog mom to two golden doodles, spending time with my family and friends, and jamming to country music!
My wife, Cassandra, and I welcomed our firstborn Jedediah in January 22. I love being creative with my hands and while I do I’m listening to podcasts and audiobooks. I love Star Wars Legends and Brandon Sanderson. I build Halo props and armor and am designing a board game.
Problem-solving has been my favorite part of life! Being able to take a situation and find or search for the best solution to make the end result something amazing!
