Burns Insurance Agency originated in the town of Burns, Wyoming in 1971, thence the name of the Agency. In the beginning the Agency concentrated mainly on Crop and Agricultural policies. However over the last 30 years BIA has branched out, serving 10 different Wyoming communities with their full line of insurance products representing nearly 100 fine Insurance Companies. Burns is nestled in the southeastern part of Wyoming, and as most small Wyoming towns, got its start from the railroad passing through Laramie County. Founded in 1917, Burns was named after a railroad division engineer. Cheyenne, the Capitol of Wyoming, is located just 20 miles west of Burns along I-80. Burns is a small agricultural and retirement community which prides itself on the friendliness of its people. Burns is a great place for a family to raise their children with wide open spaces and room to roam within a safe environment. A brand new Junior-Senior High School along with a relatively new elementary school compliments the town and its patrons. The new schools provide an excellent opportunity for students of all ages to participate in many school activities. Recently Burns has undergone a major facelift with a total makeover of their main street, and a developer is presently building new homes on a parcel of land within the city limits.

Mark W. Anderson, after graduating from Burns High School and the University of Wyoming, started out managing the Burns Insurance Agency in 1973 while working for the Farmers State Bank of Burns in Burns, Wyoming. Along with his Insurance duties he was also Vice-President of the Bank and was an Agricultural Lender as well. In 1982 Anderson resigned from the bank and purchased Burns Insurance Agency, Inc. Since then Burns Insurance Agency has either purchased or started agencies in nine other communities around the state of Wyoming. Mark has served on many civic and community boards and organizations along with being active in his church. He has also sold real-estate for nearly 18 years and was recently licensed to sell Securities to customers and employers for retirement plans. Growing up on a farm & ranch outside of Burns taught Mark the value of a good work ethic, and showed him the importance of Insurance for Farmers and their crops, thus creating his interest in insurance. Being there for the customer by providing total service is the key to success, and that is what Mark stresses to all his employees within all Burns Insurance Agency locations. Our goal is to treat customers with the utmost respect and provide the best possible insurance service. All employees at Burns Insurance Agency truly believe that we are "the Right Choice" for customers in choosing an agent. Mark is now serving as President of the Agency and personally invites any customer to check into the services and products offered at any of the 13 Burns Insurance locations.

But that's always been the history of Las Vegas . It's very creation seems like the ultimate contrast: Las Vegas , Spanish for "The Meadows," was founded by the Mormon missionaries. These early settlers were followed by the west-ward traveling pioneers and, later, by the men who built the Hoover Dam, the area's first big tourist attraction. The legalization of gambling in the 1930s transformed the city into the American Xanadu, where a street lined with the stately pleasure domes tempts travelers searching for excitement, cuisine, entertainment and shopping. Dreams of riches are usually just that; but the dream of a better life, one that adds some 50,000 modern-day pioneers to the population every year, is one that can come true. From the urban beat of a big city to the wide-open spaces of the outlaying landscape, there's a place in Las Vegas to suit everyone.
