Controller

Office: 303-283-3542
swestphal@fusainsurance.comHello, my name is Shelley Westphal and I’m the controller at Rocky Mountain Farmers Union and Farmers Union Service Association. I’ve been with the company since March 2019 and have enjoyed every minute since I started. I began my career with a non-profit organization that I interned with in college called Partners, Inc. After three years with that organization, I moved on to a larger non-profit called Seniors, Inc. I spent 14 years working as their controller. From there I moved away from the non-profit community to a manufacturer’s representative company and spent six years as their controller. Prior to coming to RMFU/FUSA my husband and I owned an auto body shop repairing cars for Enterprise.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Marketing and a minor in psychology from the University of Northern Colorado in 1993. (Go Bears!) I received my Master’s in Accounting from Colorado University at Denver. I’m a licensed CPA in Colorado.
My family keeps me very busy. I have a son who is 18 and two stepdaughters who are 17 and 19. My husband and I are almost empty nesters which sometimes seems strange and different. It is an exciting time in life when they are trying to figure out who they are and what they want to do, and we are busy figuring out what we are going to do with our newfound free time.
I’m originally from Baca County Colorado and still call Springfield my home even though we live in Castle Rock, Colorado. My parents are still back in Springfield, and I have a passion for rural Colorado towns. In my free time I volunteer with the non-profit organization Rebuild Rural America Inc. that works with small, isolated Colorado communities on economic development and infrastructure improvement.

kthulin@fusainsurance.comKarrie is a 2nd generation FUSA Insurance Agency employee. She replaced her mom, Betty Pickett, when she retired in October 1998. Karrie works in accounting and commissions and takes pride in making sure every transaction she keys is correct, especially for the agents. As a kid Karrie dreamt of being a truck driver with a big red, white, and blue swirl-painted semi or a veterinarian. Thankfully, accounting became more of her thing as she hates driving long distances and has too soft of a heart to be a vet. Karrie can honestly say she LOVES working for FUSA, as it is truly the greatest company she has ever worked for and can’t imagine working anywhere else.
In Karrie’s spare time, her twins (who are in high school) keep her busy with volleyball and golf, along with planning their futures and which University they’ll attend. Karrie and her husband and kids are very involved in summertime on the water. They spend every warm weekend wake surfing, tubing, floating, soaking up the sun, and grilling for family and friends. Karrie is also an avid dog lover and has two rescue dogs, Goose and Rip. She wouldn’t have her life any other way.

dsimmons@fusainsurance.comI started my career at Farmers Union Service Association in 1993 as an assistant account manager, and then account manager until the birth of my first child in 2001.

I handle premium accounts receivables, agency bill company payables and direct bill commissions. I have so enjoyed working for FUSA and can’t imagine being anywhere else!
Outside of work I am a passionate reader – when I have the time. I also love the outdoors and hiking in our beautiful mountains here in Colorado. My husband and I are very much involved with all 3 of our kids’ schools and extracurricular activities which I absolutely loved doing throughout the years. My oldest son is currently attending CSU and my twin girls are high school seniors and looking to embark in college life as well. So even though my nest may soon be empty, I can’t wait to see what life holds in store for my wonderful family as we embark in the next phase!

I also love home decorating and am currently working to modernize a townhome that I bought a year ago. Patterns, texture, and color have become the new norm in my life. However, my number one passion is my boyfriend, Scott, who shares in my love for the game of tennis and home decorating as well as binging on quirky independent films.
