Who we are

Our Story

Built on Trust. Rooted in Circleville.

Since 1979, Anderson Insurance has helped families, farms, and businesses across Circleville and Ohio protect what matters most. Founded by Terry Anderson, the agency was built on a simple promise: treat people with honesty, respect, and the kind of service you’d want for your own family.


Today, that legacy continues under John Moats, who leads the agency with the same client-first philosophy Terry instilled from the start. As a locally rooted, independent agency, we’re proud to offer a wide variety of affordable insurance plans designed to fit real lives, whether you’re insuring a home, a harvest, or your health.


We’re not a call center. We’re not a quick quote machine. We’re your neighbors—and we’re here to help, from quote to claim and beyond.


“If you love someone or owe someone, you need life insurance.”
 — Terry Anderson, Founder


This simple truth still guides us. We believe insurance should offer more than a policy. It should offer peace of mind, practical guidance, and ongoing support from people who truly care.
