About Us

In 1967 Darrell Taylor bought the business. He was working for an agency in Reno, so after buying the business he moved his wife and two kids to Winnemucca. In 1997 his daughter, Crystan, who had been working at the office since a very young age, started buying the business from her father. In 1998 Crystan went to a Safeco Insurance conference in Seattle where she met Paul. Paul grew up in southern California and also came up in a family that owned an insurance business. He worked for the family business for a short bit (87-92), till he went into the U.S. Army (93-97). After coming back from the Army he worked again for his father in the business (97-99). In 1999 Paul and Crys decided it would be better for Paul to move to Winnemucca. They began running the business together and shortly after got married. They had their one and only kid Madyson in 2001. Madyson recently (2019) started working for the family business as the I.T. Tech and social media coordinator. She is going to college for a B.S. in Marketing and Advertisement, and plans to eventually run the business and continue to do the advertisement. Valley Insurance sells Auto, Home, Boat, Motorcycle, Group Health, and more insurance to Nevada, Idaho, and Oregon. They also always try to keep a bilingual employee to make all encounters as easy for the customers as possible.
