Why Oakstone

Meet the people behind Oakstone.

We're not a call center or a quote machine. We're local insurance professionals who work with businesses to find coverage that actually fits how they operate.

Real people. Local perspective. Independent options.

Ysha and Jarrod, the advisors behind Oakstone Insurance Group

You shouldn't have to wonder who is behind your insurance.

Oakstone was built around a simple idea: business owners deserve an insurance advisor who knows their name, understands their business, and is willing to pick up the phone.

We're independent, which means we're not tied to one insurance company. We can shop the market and help you make an informed decision about what makes sense for your business.

  • Independent — we shop multiple carriers
  • Bilingual — English & Spanish
  • Veteran-owned
  • Women-owned
  • Small business focused

The advisors

Insurance is personal. Your advisor should be too.

I redirected my career to insurance because I wanted to make something that can feel complicated a little easier for business owners.

My background

Ysha wanted Oakstone to give small business owners a different kind of insurance experience — one built on plain language, honest advice, and making each person feel that they aren't just another policy. She works directly with owners from their first quote through every renewal. From owning her own real estate portfolios thru the years, becoming a restaurant proprietor of several local establishments and serving on local boards in the community, she brings real life experience and advice to her clients.

  • Restaurants
  • Contractors
  • Real Estate
  • Nonprofits
  • Retail
  • Professional Services

Something you should know about me

A small-business owner at heart, Ysha knows what it means to sign the front of the checks — not just the back.
