Beginnings
The firm was founded by Fred L. Stork, who later brought on Richard Kelch as a partner. Neither of these gentlemen are still with the company. Beginning in 1995, Don Leesman and Brad Stork became the principal owners of the agency. Todd Ford and Carey Smith have been on staff as salesmen for 11 and 9 years, respectively. Pam Halfpap is our office manager and has been at Stork Kelch for 10 years.
