You're Not Talking to a Call Center. You're Talking to Mike.
At Armor Insurance Services, every call, every renewal, and every question comes back to one person — me. I'm Mike Krysa, and I've spent the last 15 years in this industry because I genuinely like helping people make sense of their coverage.

Whether you're a homeowner in Portage, renting your first apartment, or looking for a life insurance policy that actually makes sense for your situation, I can help. As an independent agent with access to carriers like Progressive, Erie, and several Wisconsin-based companies, I shop your coverage across multiple options instead of steering you toward whatever fits one company's lineup.
That's the difference between working with a captive agent and working with me.
Personal insurance Portage WI residents can count on — whether you're in Columbia County, Sauk County, Dodge County, or anywhere within about 50 miles of my office on Main Street in downtown Portage.
Why I Went Independent — and Why It Matters to You
I spent years working in insurance before I made the move to open my own independent agency. The difference was simple: as a captive agent, I could only offer one company's products. If that company's rates weren't competitive for your situation, I didn't have much to offer you.
As an independent agent, I work with multiple carriers — including Progressive, Erie, and several Wisconsin-based companies — so I can actually shop your coverage and find the right fit. You get options. I give you my honest read on what makes sense for you.
That's been the foundation of Armor Insurance Services since I opened the doors seven years ago.
One Agent, One Relationship, No Runaround
Running a solo operation isn't the most scalable business model. But it's the one that works best for my clients. When you call 608-745-9144, I pick up. When your renewal comes around, I reach out. When you have a question at 8am or need to walk through a claim, you're not getting routed to a stranger.
A few things that define how I work:
- I've been in the insurance industry for 15+ years, with 7 years as an independent agent in central Wisconsin
- I hold my office at 141 E Cook St on Main Street in downtown Portage — walk-ins are always welcome
- I serve homeowners, renters, auto owners, small business owners, and individuals looking for life coverage
- My service area covers a 50-mile radius from Portage, including Columbia, Sauk, and Dodge counties
- I work with carriers like Progressive and Erie, which means I'm comparing options — not just selling one brand
Based in Portage. Built for Central Wisconsin.
My office sits right on Main Street in downtown Portage, which means I'm part of this community — not a voice on a 1-800 number. I work with clients in Wisconsin Dells, Baraboo, Beaver Dam, Columbus, Pardeeville, and communities throughout the surrounding area.
If you're looking for a local insurance agent who knows Columbia County, I'd be glad to talk through your coverage and see what I can do for you.
