Shared values of integrity, trust, and future-focused service unite two firms dedicated to strengthening clients and communities across the West
RENO, Nev. – Oct. 30, 2025 – LP Insurance Services, a relationship-driven comprehensive insurance and advisory services firm that guards its clients’ businesses, employees, and communities, today formally announced its expansion into Oregon with the addition of Mountain West Insurance Services, Inc., based in Salem. Mountain West officially joined LP in August 2025, marking LP’s first presence in the state.
Founded in 2014, Mountain West Insurance Services was built on the belief that local and regional businesses deserve a partner who leads with integrity, vision, and excellence. The firm has become a trusted name across Oregon’s Willamette Valley, serving clients in construction, property development, food processing, manufacturing, and general business insurance.
“Mountain West’s values are in complete harmony with LP’s own—relationships built on trust, solutions focused on the future, and a dedication to growth that benefits clients and communities alike,” said Brian Cushard, CEO and President of LP Insurance Services. “As we expand to serve and strengthen new communities through our relationship-driven, comprehensive insurance and advisory services, we are proud to welcome Shane Phelps and their team to LP.”
The integration of Mountain West Insurance Services marks LP’s entry into the Oregon market and reflects the firm’s continued growth throughout the Western United States—extending its model of partnership, expertise, and genuine care to more businesses and communities across the region.
“From the beginning, Mountain West has been about doing right by our clients—listening first, acting with integrity, and helping businesses thrive,” said Shane Phelps, Owner/Broker of Mountain West Insurance Services. “Joining LP allows us to carry that same mission forward with the resources, relationships, and regional reach of a firm that shares our values and vision for growth.”
The Salem team will continue serving clients throughout the Willamette Valley and beyond, maintaining the local relationships and personal service that have long defined Mountain West. Now as part of LP, clients will also benefit from expanded access to specialized insurance, employee benefits, and risk management expertise—all delivered through the same trusted local advisors who know their businesses best.
The new LP Insurance Salem office is located at 265 Commercial Street SE, Suite 210B, Salem, OR 97301.
