About the author
Melissa Boone
Owner and licensed insurance agent
Melissa has been a licensed insurance agent since September 2001. She owns Rocky Mountain Insurance Services, an independent agency in Centennial, Colorado, and writes and reviews the coverage explainers published here.
Background
An engineer’s habits, applied to insurance
Melissa was born and raised in northeastern Oklahoma. She earned a B.S. Computer Science from Weber State University in Utah, and an M.A. Political Science from the University of Central Oklahoma.
Before insurance she spent 7 years in the United States Air Force as a computer systems officer, then worked as a programmer, systems analyst, network engineer and project manager. After that came 7 years with a technical recruiting company. She started her own agency in 2001.
That background is why the explainers on this site read the way they do. A wind-and-hail deductible expressed as a percentage of a dwelling limit is a specification, and specifications are worth reading closely before you need them — not after.
Outside work she teaches fitness classes at a local gym, and enjoys reading, crafting and travel. She has two grown children and two granddaughters.
