I grew up in the Kansas City metro area and lived there most of my life. I also lived and worked in Chicago and central Missouri and currently reside in the St. Louis area. I have a BS in Management and have worked in the insurance industry for over 30 years. I’m an avid sports enthusiast and will forever remain a loyal Kansas City Chiefs and Royals fan. I will also always cheer for my Kansas Jayhawks.
I have over 30 years of experience in the insurance industry as a licensed producer and account executive. I truly enjoy working with clients and their employees to provide customized insurance solutions and services that fit their needs.
I also enjoy traveling, music, volunteering, watching sports, and spending as much time with my family, friends, and pets as possible. I like Saturday farmers markets & Sunday church, going to try new restaurants, long walks with my dog, and/or staying home & cooking with a nice glass of wine, good music, and a good movie or Netflix show.
I do volunteer work for several charity organizations. My favorite charities to work with are the ones serving the homeless population and helping animal shelters. I also am very active in my community food drives
AMANDA STRICKLIN
ACCOUNT COORDINATOR/COMMUNITY BRAND AMBASSADOR

Email: astricklin@tcfgins.com
I grew up in St.Louis, MO., where I received my high-school diploma from the University City School District. I later served in management for 15+ years in countless fields such as the restaurant and medical industry. In that amount of time, I received a good amount of certificates and licenses. My most recent certification was my insurance licensing in various states across the country.
My experience in the insurance industry started in Voluntary Benefits, where I served as an Account Manager and a Benefits Counselor, for companies such as Aflac and Colonial Life, for over three years. Currently, my role is Business Development Representative in Account Management and Sales with The Conley Financial Group location of Branch Benefits Consultants. Assisting clients with their own unique needs is what excites me the most about the work.
When I’m not working, it’s all about my family. Every weekend I attempt a family outing to create lasting memories. I also enjoy cooking, and I’m always looking for new recipes while adding my unique flavor. My customers probably don’t know about my love for interior design!
CRAIG SCURATO
Phone: (813) 981-2992
Email: cscurato@lesliesaunders.com
II grew up in Gainesville (Go Gators!) and Tampa, Florida for the first 18 years of my life.
Went to Emory and lived in Atlanta for about 10 years and have lived in the Kansas City area for 25 years. I started at UNUM as a sales rep and worked for a half dozen leading group benefits companies like Standard, Delta Dental, and CIGNA.
I spent the last 14 years at Leslie Saunders serving airport-based businesses. I love working with small and medium-sized businesses where they don’t have all the benefits, compliance, and administrative resources of large organizations because we can impact the lives of the employees and the business owner’s bottom line.
Personally, I am interested in almost everything but not really a specialist in anything.
I mostly love to learn about the people I meet. I am a very good home cook – totally improv with whatever we have on hand. When not working, I am probably hanging out with my family.
RACHAEL RIZZI
VP OF RISK MANAGEMENT

Email: rrizzi@tcfgins.com
I am a true Las Vegas native. I have a BA in Criminal Justice and a BA in Psychology from UNLV. I also have an MBA with an emphasis in Servant Leadership from Grand Canyon University. While enrolled in the MBA program, I got to study under Ken Blanchard directly – I’ve even been to his house several times!
I am second generation. I have literally done every job there is to do. I started as a certificate tech, then became an assistant, progressed to an Account Executive, from there I was a producer. I even owned my own agency for several years before selling to BBC. I have been very involved in a lot of trade associations and written quite a few nationally published articles. I also sit on the NV DOI Agent Advisory Council. I am a natural born problem solver. I love finding solutions to challenges and creating win-win scenarios. I also am a bit of an early adopter so I am always looking for new products, approaches and technology to test out.
I hate being cold and am convinced that I am secretly a lizard on the inside. You can find me most weekends romping through the desert or cooling off in a swimming pool with my family and friends. I am sort of a human jukebox – I know a ridiculous amount of lyrics to songs in just about every genre. I am also great at pop culture trivia and love to scrapbook all of my adventures. From hiking to exploring ghost towns to pedal biking on a railroad. My most absolute favorite thing in the world to do though is go to Vegas Golden Knights games. Go Knights GO!
I have volunteered and served on many boards throughout the years, but my favorite cause to support is women empowerment. We still have a very long way to go in terms of gender equality and equity. For that reason the Women’s Research Institute of Nevada will always hold a special place in my heart.
