Biking Business: H & H Insurance, LLC
By Lulu
Insuring your motorcycle is one of the first things you do after making that exciting purchase. In Holly Hill at 1702 Ridgewood Avenue, two Volusia County born and raised ladies are in the business of doing just that! Lisa Collalti Hawkins and Sandi Hageman are partners in H & H Insurance, LLC. They have both been in the insurance industry for years. Lisa was licensed in 1996 and Sandi in 2000. Their friendship started eighteen years ago through the insurance business. Seven years ago, they decided to make the leap and open H & H (Hawkins & Hageman) Insurance. They are licensed and can sell for the entire state of Florida. As an independent insurance agency, they can shop for your best price. I must admit they saved me money on my car insurance when I changed to H & H and they saved T.J. a bunch of money on his homeowner’s policy as well. Lisa and Sandi provide motorcycle, auto, boat, home, collector cars, commercial and life insurance. They do not handle health insurance.
When I said Volusia County born and raised which seems rare in this area, Lisa’s family is the oldest documented family in the U.S., her maternal family name is Solana from St. Augustine. Her family was even featured in a documentary on PM Magazine. Sandi’s family owned Cobb’s Corner. Her grandmother was Patricia Lindmeier.
Sandi tells me that she is a stay at home in her free time kind of girl. She loves her time with her family which consists of three children and a two-year old granddaughter. So, motorcycle riding is something she enjoyed in the past, and she enjoys Lisa’s stories of her adventures on two-wheels.
Many in the Daytona area know Lisa “Biker Mama” from either riding with Greg or from her time behind the bar at Smiley’s Tap. She has bartended there for nine years…and just enjoys doing it! She grew up riding behind her brother, holding tight while he wheelied down the street, much to her parents’ dismay. After a divorce in 2006, she decided she had to have her own bike. Lisa rode her own for several years, but she couldn’t spend much time on her motorcycle due to the demands of the new business, so she sold it and now is content to enjoy the backseat. Her passion is riding, and she gets itchy when she hears bikes pull up while she is behind the desk! She met her riding mate Greg at Annie Oakley’s when Greg’s friend Micah made the love connection by telling Greg to give her a ride on the 9/11 Memorial Ride in Flagler…they have been together ever since! Lisa also spends time with her son and two grandchildren and loves the beach.
H & H Insurance is very community minded and supports bike runs, particularly Family Renew and Toys for Tots. Both Lisa and Sandi would love to give you a quote and help you with any insurance needs or questions you might have. They are super friendly, saved me money and it is worth the call (386-310-8702)!
