Kentuckiana’s Trusted Local Insurance Team.
Richard
Richard Lewis has spent more than 20 years in the insurance industry, and in April 2022, he took everything he’d learned and built something he could truly call his own. Lewis & Associates Insurance was founded on a simple belief: people deserve an agent who actually knows them, not a call center, not a chatbot, just a real person who shows up and gets it done.
Before starting the agency, Richard spent years working in commercial insurance, developing a deep understanding of coverage, carriers, and what it really takes to protect the things people work hard for. That experience gave him something most agents don’t have — the ability to see the full picture, ask the right questions, and find solutions that actually fit.
A New Albany native, Richard is as local as it gets. He’s not just serving the Kentuckiana community, he’s part of it. When he’s not helping clients find the right coverage, you’ll find him out on the golf course or playing pickleball, usually surrounded by the people he cares most about. Family is at the center of everything he does, and that shows in the way he runs his business.
Clients consistently describe Richard as one of the kindest, most knowledgeable people they’ve ever worked with. He has a rare ability to make something as complicated as insurance feel completely manageable and he does it without wasting your time. Efficient, honest, and genuinely invested in every person he works with, Richard built Lewis & Associates to be the kind of agency he always believed insurance should be.
Kenzie
Kenzie Lewis didn’t take the traditional path into insurance. But then again, nothing about Lewis & Associates is traditional and that’s exactly the point.
The daughter of founder Richard Lewis, Kenzie brings a rare combination of entrepreneurial instinct, creative vision, and genuine business experience to the team. A graduate of IU Bloomington who also attended Purdue, she built her marketing chops the hard way — by founding and successfully selling her own company, Blush + Bounce. That experience taught her something most marketers never learn in a classroom: how to build something from nothing, make people care about it, and turn a brand into a community.
At Lewis & Associates, Kenzie leads all things social media and marketing with one goal in mind making insurance actually relatable. Because if a former business owner, IU grad, and entrepreneur can make people stop scrolling to think about their deductible, that’s a win. Her content is funny, honest, and human, because that’s the only kind of marketing she believes in.
When she’s not building the brand from the ground up, Kenzie is pursuing ventures in the medical space in New York City proving that her drive to make complicated things feel approachable doesn’t stop at insurance.
She’s proof that passion for people, not a background in finance, is what makes a great marketer. And Lewis & Associates is lucky to have her.
Mandy
Not many insurance agents spent their early career doing cancer research. But that’s exactly what makes Mandy Bowman one of a kind.
A proud Purdue Boilermaker and trained biological scientist, Mandy built her early career in biomedical research — the kind of work that demands precision, deep expertise, and an unwavering commitment to helping people. When she made the pivot to insurance, she brought all of that with her. Because whether you’re in a lab or sitting across from a client, the mission is the same: use what you know to make life better for the people around you.
At Lewis & Associates, Mandy brings that same scientific mind to every policy she writes. She asks the right questions, digs into the details, and makes sure you’re never paying for coverage you don’t need — or missing coverage you do. Clients trust her because she takes the time to actually understand their situation before making a single recommendation.
Her story is proof that a passion for helping people doesn’t belong to just one field. It took a biology degree, years of research, and a genuine heart for people to get here — and Kentuckiana is better for it.
When she’s not helping clients get covered, you’ll find Mandy in the kitchen cooking up something impressive or out on the pickleball court — which, around here, practically counts as a job requirement.
