Stevin Lipp

Stevin and I worked together for around 6 months towards the latter half of 2021. We both were working for Cowboy Jack’s - Fargo in FOH roles but in different capacities. When I met Stevin, we instantly clicked. He was kind, personable & genuine. We also had a shared interest and background in the insurance industry. I had moved to Fargo for a new job, having just left my prior career as a commercial line's underwriter handling a large book of business in Eastern NY & NJ. Stevin was in the early stages of assembling his branch of the COUNTRY Financial Agency. Both of us were working at Cowboy Jack’s part time while our main focus was on our careers. It didn't take more than a conversation or two to realize Stevin was an ambitious go-getter who set goals and held himself accountable. I know being an entrepreneur and an insurance agent are not easy tasks. With any set back, Stevin persevered and was never discouraged. His perseverance and unrelenting positivity are what I think of most when I think of Stevin. In the nearly 2 years of knowing him, I have only ever heard him receive criticism once. He took it both to heart and in stride. Unlike others who might have gotten defensive or deterred, Stevin used the feedback he’d received to fuel and better himself - a rare & honorable quality. He’s a natural born leader and mentor in addition to being someone who can be relied upon. Since working together, I have been able to reach out to Stevin asking for personal favors and inquire on a variety of topics. If he is able to help, he does so without hesitation. If he does not know the answer, he isn’t dismissive or unwilling to go above and beyond doing the legwork for you. Stevin puts it on himself to make every interaction a positive & productive one. Overall, it was a great experience getting to work with and know Stevin. When I would walk into Cowboy Jack’s and see he was behind the bar, my spirit would be lifted, and my energy would be renewed - it would not only be a smooth shift but an enjoyable one as well. Stevin is a dependable individual who has the ambition and sheer willpower to manifest outcomes into existence. If you are looking for someone who will put in time and effort beyond what is expected or required to deliver for you or your customers, Stevin is the obvious choice. Furthermore, if I were still an insurance professional and working in the ND/MN region, I would not hesitate to work with Stevin.
