Meet the Team

Hi, I’m Heather Rippe-Behmerwohld. I am the Office Manager for Schiermeyer and Associates - Farm Bureau Financial Services. I have been a part of Steve’s team since 2018. I am licensed in Property & Casualty, Life and Health. I live in Geneva with my husband, Clayton, and our 2 kids, Remington & Vanessa. Outside the office you will find me at one of our kids’ many activities, at the pool or putting together a puzzle. I look forward to working with you!
 

Hi everyone, I wanted to write a quick paragraph to let you know more about myself! I’m originally from Geneva and I graduated from Fillmore Central High School in 2015. After High School, I wanted to do something a little different, so I joined the Army and moved to Laramie, Wyoming for the military and for school. I spent seven years out west as a Heavy Equipment Operator for the Wyoming National Guard and completing an Environmental Geology/Geohydrology degree from the University of Wyoming. After graduating and completing my military contract, Steve asked me if I wanted to come back and work for him. It was a great opportunity to move back close to family and start a fulfilling career. I have been with the agency for four years now and have really enjoyed being able to help people and build relationships in our community. Outside of the office, my hobby is finding new hobbies. My top three are hunting with my bird dog Poke, traveling with my fiancé Korbyn, and hiking/off-roading in the mountains of Colorado and Wyoming. I look forward to working with you!
 

I joined the Farm Bureau staff in September 2023. I am licensed in Property & Casualty, Life and Health.  I am originally from Wood River, NE but reside in Ohiowa, NE. I have a Bachelor's degree from Kearney State and a Master's degree from UNL.  I retired from teaching after 33 years in May of 2023.  My family consists of husband, Larry, who is a farmer/rancher; daughter, Shelby, who is a Ruminant Nutritionist; and son, Cody, who is a livestock herdsman. In my spare time, I like to golf, work in my yard, and spend time with family and friends. I look forward to working with you!

Hello!  I’m Sara Jo Kunert!  I have lived in Fillmore County my entire life and it’s where my husband, Bryan, & I are raising our two daughters, ages 7 & 5.  I obtained my Property and Casualty license in 2021 and my Life and Health license in 2024. I joined Schiermeyer and Associates – Farm Bureau Financial Services, in April 2024.  I spend my free time taking our girls to activities, staying active in the community, and spending time outside.  Stop by the new office and let me know how I can help you with all of your insurance needs!
 

Hello, and Vitáme Vás to those of you that will be seeing me in the Wilber office! I grew up on a farm northwest of Wilber, graduated from Wilber – Clatonia, and earned an Associate Degree in Foodservice and Hospitality from SCC Lincoln. I lived in southwest Kansas for a few years and eventually settled back home in Wilber with my husband.

After 28 years of working in many different facets of the food service industry, I joined Schiermeyer and Associates with Farm Bureau in October 2024.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time and traveling with my husband, cheering for the KSU Wildcats, or spending the evening in. I am licensed in Property & Casualty, Life and Health insurance. I look forward to this opportunity to work with you!
