When it comes to insurance, it’s easy to think it’s all about policies and premiums. But for our featured sponsor, Curt Zimmerman of DiBuduo & DeFendis Insurance Brokers, it’s about so much more.
When it comes to insurance, it’s easy to think it’s all about policies and premiums. But for our featured sponsor, Curt Zimmerman of DiBuduo & DeFendis Insurance Brokers, it’s about so much more. As Vice President of the Modesto office and a dedicated agent, Curt focuses on helping clients protect their businesses with innovative risk management solutions—not just selling insurance. His hands-on approach ensures businesses of all sizes get personalized strategies, cost-saving alternatives, and long-term security.
Originally from Porterville, Curt attended the University of the Pacific in Stockton, where he met his wife, Jeannie, a Modesto native. Ripon’s small-town feel and strong sense of community made it an easy choice when they were looking for the perfect place to raise a family.
Curt’s journey into the insurance world started thanks to his father-in-law, Al Sarina, who introduced him to the business and gave him the opportunity to join the firm. From the start, he realized that what really makes a difference is being personally involved with clients and keeping their best interests at heart. That mindset has helped him build lasting relationships based on trust and genuine support.
At DiBuduo & DeFendis Insurance Brokers, LLC, Curt and his team go beyond transactions—they deliver risk management solutions tailored to each client’s unique needs. By focusing on service and involvement in their client’s overall business practices, they provide value far beyond just selling insurance. Their commitment to long-term success and stability sets them apart in the industry.
