Our Story
We are long time and devoted members of the local Prescott, Arizona community. James Otto began his insurance career in Prescott, Arizona in 1987. After developing a significant client following in the health and life market over the course of 15 years, Jim invited his daughter Jennifer Wilhelm to join the agency in 2002. Jennifer had previously spent 10 years with Chubb Insurance in Phoenix, Arizona. In addition to raising a family of 4 boys in Prescott, insurance has been Jennifer’s life long career. For fun, Jennifer is an avid hiker with the goal of hiking the highest peaks in all 50 states.
In 2004, Jenniferās husband Jeff Wilhelm joined Prescott Health & Life. Jeffās insurance experience began while serving as a lawyer in Phoenix, Arizona for 16 years. As a partner with the law firm of Jennings, Haug, and Cunningham, Jeff’s primary areas of practice included insurance and surety law. Jeff served as the managing member of Prescott Health & Life for 20 years before reducing to part-time in 2024 with a focus on Medicare, life insurance and long term care planning. With the increase in his free time, Jeff is also working on his third and final career as a writer.
