Suzanne Yniguez
Executive Account Manager
I started with The John Alsop Agency in March of 1992 right out of high school. I had no prior knowledge of the insurance industry and John hired me when he was starting his first office in Montclair. In the very early years with him, I learned the basics of the industry from him. I became Property & Casualty licensed and I later acquired my Life Insurance License. Thereafter, I learned all the other major lines of insurance. As John's most senior employee, I have built up one his largest clientele and referral networks. I became his top producer and Agency "MVP". I am known as the “go to person” when one of the other account agents has a question or wants to know how to process or quote a certain client. I am very honored to be thought of so highly within the agency. It is a joy working and servicing our clients with the respect and integrity John expects. The opportunity John gave me has allowed me to pursue many of my goals in life. I purchased a home and have started a family.
Gilda Pagcu-Aquino
Executive Account Manager
Known as “the agent with 100GBs of brain storage,” I remember each client’s name, policy information and recent transactions. I have a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration and hold Life and Property & Casualty (P&C) licenses.
I migrated to the US from the Philippines in 2000 to join my fiancé. That year, I began my insurance career with Primerica as a Life agent. In 2003, I joined the Allstate team, working for an agent in the Bay Area as a sales producer for Life and P&C. We moved to Southern California in 2004 and soon thereafter, I met John Alsop and was hired as a Customer Service Representative. Within a year, I was promoted to Sales Producer. I have since developed a strong client base consisting of people from different backgrounds and personalities. I particularly cater to the loyal Filipino community in the Inland Empire and throughout California. I am continuously regarded as one of the agency’s top producers in both P&C and financial services. My clientele refer me business every day and view me as their “Insurance Consultant for Life!”
Anthony and I have been married for 8 years and are proud parents of Lance and Brigette. Lance is 7 years old and a 2nd grader in Sacred Heart Catholic School. Brigette is 2 years old and enjoys watching princess movies at home. Brigette is also the goddaughter of John Alsop. Both of my children are aware that Mommy works with Allstate. During one of his school assignments, Lance referred to me as his idol by saying, “My mommy protects people when they get into an accident and she gets them life insurance too.” I love talking to people and have many friends around the globe. I also enjoy cooking and eating – Sushi is my favorite food.
Rebecca Rhone
Account Manager
I've been with the John Alsop Agency for four years and licensed for Property and Casualty. My husband of three years Eric and I have two cats until we buy a house, then a dog too. I love cooking especially baking. I also love walking, singing and spending time with my family. I'm an active member of my church and am part of the Bell Choir. What I like about insurance is that it's a joy trying to help people save money. Insurance is like a puzzle that I have to figure out to help people. Insurance needs are different for each person and I'm there to sort out all the pieces.

I have been with Allstate Insurance Company for over 16 years. I began my career as a Customer Service Representative and worked my way up to running my own agency. In March of 2008, I started working for the John Alsop Insurance Agency as the Office Manager for the Chino location. I find it extremely gratifying to provide my clients with great products and services to meet their insurance needs and protect their assets.
In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, baking, working out and running with my rescued Greyhound, Zoe. I have one adult daughter and value the time we spend together.
Adrian Juarez
Account Manager
I am the third child of four in a family of Latin descent. I grew up in the City of Pomona attending Philadelphia Elementary School, Simmons Middle School and Garey High School. After I graduated from Garey in 2000, I was part of the Viking Marching Band and also a Police Explorer serving my city of Pomona. I am a very simple down to earth individual who enjoys the company of friends and family. I have been in the line of insurance for a little over a year. I enjoy being the voice of reason for Allstate. I love the relationships that are built by getting to know my customers and knowing what is going on in their lives. I plan to be here for years to come and be the person you will all come to when looking for peace of mind and assistance with your insurance needs.

Well, I'm happily married going on 4 years this November. I have one beautiful 3-year-old daughter. I like spending time with both of them. I like shopping (What woman doesn't), hanging out with friends and family and I don't mind good clean fun. I am a Christian and I try to go to church everyday. I love my work. I started working for the John Alsop Agency in 2005 and I've been licensed since 2006. I love what I do. Helping people understand the Insurance world makes me happy. Hopefully and God willing, I'll be Life Insurance licensed by January 2008.

I am a relatively new member of the John Alsop Insurance Agency team. I started in August of 2008, but I have been with Allstate since 2004. In the past, I worked for an Allstate agency in the City of Ontario where I developed great relationships with clients. Recently, I relocated to Montebello. I know the area and people very well since I was raised there. Therefore, I am confident that I can give you the best service and price. I look forward to building new relationships and utilizing my insurance and customer service experience to help clients with all their insurance needs.
Rancho Cucamonga
Danielle Self
Office Manager
Born in New York City and raised in a small California suburb, I began my insurance career shortly after high school in 1998. Soon after my career launched, I met and married my best friend Scott. We have been married for 10 years and are raising two beautiful children. The love and support that I receive from my family is why I work so hard. I strive to maintain my standards for excellence, not only for myself, but for my producers as well.
Working as an agent and manager over the years has been a wonderful learning experience and has given me a great deal of satisfaction. I truly enjoy the insurance business and the customers and friends that I have met along the way. The highest compliments I can receive come in the way of referrals from my customers, which is why I strive to exceed their expectations. What I like best about my job is that we as agents have the ability to educate and help protect the financial security of all of our customers.
I recently joined John Alsop’s team making me the newest addition. I am extremely excited to be a part of one of the best Allstate teams in California and look forward to the opportunity to work along side John and his staff.
Ricardo Becerra
Account Manager
I'm one of the newest members to the John Alsop Family. A rookie to the insurance industry, I started in August of 2008. I am a licensed Property and Casualty agent and recently graduated from Allstate's "Allstate Sales Producer University.” My 10-year banking/mortgage background developed my superior phone etiquette. Before I had the pleasure of helping clients in achieving "The American Dream" of becoming a homeowner; now I have the pleasure of protecting that dream. It is a great feeling to be able to provide peace of mind to my clients while protecting them with superior insurance products. I look forward to ensuring the well being of clients and becoming your Allstate Agent one day.
Sam Blackwell
Account Manager
I live with my wonderful wife and three great kids in Riverside California. I have been with the John Alsop Agency since June of 2005, before Insurance I had spent 20 years in the printing industry in customer service. This field affords me the opportunity to utilize my customer service skills as your account representative. I really enjoy this aspect of my career, being able to serve the customer. John Alsop is not just my boss, he is also my Brother-in-law, that is one of the joys of working for this organization. There is strong family atmosphere, and an appreciation for individuality and creativity. This allows the agents to do the best job they can do, as agents, not just an employee. Not like the fast food mentality epidemic that is scourging this planet. Here at the John Alsop Agency you have an agent, who takes ownership of his or her job, and will do everything in our power to make sure we have taken care of all your insurance needs. This is not fast food style insurance; this is your financial protection.
