About The Preserve Group

What You Need

At The Preserve Group, our goal is to help you design an insurance protection plan that covers your family and/or business from a wide range of risk exposures. That doesn’t mean packing in coverage you won’t need – instead, we get to know you and recommend coverage based on your unique characteristics.

Why You Need It

Having quality coverage is great but most people want to understand what they’re getting and why. We’ll explain our recommendations, so you know what’s being covered and how it applies to you. If you decide you don’t want a particular coverage, we’ll update the policy. The important part is that you fully understand what you’re getting.

Where to Get It

Designing a protection plan is only half of the job. The other half is finding an insurance company that offers the coverage you want for a great price. As an independent insurance agency, The Preserve Group will retrieve quotes from over 15 top insurance companies to help match you with a carrier that meets your needs and budget. Plus, we can help you find a new company as your needs change.

      We experienced a difficulty with our home insurance policy providers and James Thovson approached the problem with innovation and diligence. Throughout the stressful process, he was patient, accessible and willing to go the extra mile to secure a positive outcome. We are very pleased with the service provided by The Preserve Group.

      James took time to make sure all our questions were answered. The video he sent us of all the numbers was very helpful! And he saved us money on auto insurance, which is not what we went in for!

      Great customer service!  Had a problem with the website and instead of just giving me a phone number, James called them and spent hours with them to fix it!  Anytime I need help, James is there for me!  The insurance is priced competitively.  I am fortunate and haven't had to file a claim yet, but I am confident James would be there to help me through it!

Meet The Team

James Thovson

Hi, I’m James! I began working in the insurance industry in 2015 after losing my dad to cancer. He was the true family man, and I knew things in my life had to change to leave a legacy similar to his. I made a career pivot to become a small business-owner, with the primary goals of being able to serve clients in a personalized way and gain flexibility for my growing family.

I believe it is important to educate my clients and prioritize customized coverage that meets each client’s individual needs. The Preserve Group serves a variety of clients in the Twin Cities and focuses on four cornerstone principles: education, personalized coverage, competitive premiums, and unparalleled service.

Outside of work, I enjoy coaching youth sports, serving in my church and local community.

We love the opportunity to get to know people, what they are passionate about, and partner with other businesses to give back to our community. Stop by our Lakeville, MN office or contact us. Together we truly can build something stronger.
