Our Story

3 Generations of Owners
The Dana Company has been in the insurance industry for over 30 years and has three generations of owners; Dana Ramundt, Cory Holland, and Geoff Matlock.

1990
After 13 months of creating and building a new business by himself, Dana had an opportunity to acquire another agency from the Resolution Trust Corporation that included 7 employees and an additional repertoire of insurance companies with which Dana had no current relationship. The 7 additional employees required a larger space and thus The Dana Company moved to 1329 50th St in West Des Moines.

2000
Due to incredible growth a new and larger space was required. In 2000, Dana built a 3 story, 40,000 square foot building which many in the community now refer to as “The Dana Building”.

2002-2003
In the early 2000's, Dana served in all officer ships of the Independent Insurance Agents of Iowa, culminating as President in the fiscal year 2002-2003.

2010
Cory first joined The Dana Company in 2001 in the marketing department. After working in marketing, Cory became a producer, and then in 2010, he became a shareholder.

2018
Continuing his commitment to The Dana Company, Cory was named President/CEO of The Dana Company in 2018.

2021
Geoff Matlock became the third shareholder of The Dana Company. As Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Geoff is focused on growing our client base and refining our customer experience.
