Hi, I’m Lareme Fessler (pronounced L-air-eh-me). I’m an introvert who’s learned how to show up like an extrovert when it counts.
I’m passionate about pushing limits—especially my own. That’s what drew me to marathons and ultra-marathons. I love the process of doing my best… and then finding a way to do it better. I’m a sub-three-hour marathoner and had the opportunity to qualify for and run the Boston Marathon in 2025—an experience that perfectly captures how I approach life: keep improving, even while you’re in the middle of the challenge.
Professionally, I’ve been a licensed insurance agent since 2003. With over two decades of experience, I’m more confident than ever in the value I bring to the people I serve. That same commitment to growth carries into every part of my life.
In 2006, I married my best friend, Dawn. Together we’re raising eight incredible kids—three girls and five boys—which means life is full, loud, and never boring.
Ryan, our oldest, is our dependable “first responder” to just about everything. Then come the boys—Brenden, Levi, Lareme, and Benson—who seem to measure their day in wrestling matches from morning to night. Rory is our sweet princess who knows exactly how to get her brothers to do things for her. Declyn brings a whole new level of energy, and Lochlyn, our youngest, is pure joy wrapped in a little body.
Life is busy, a little chaotic, and incredibly rewarding—and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
