Our Team

Jason Hoffman is the Owner and President of J. Hoffman Insurance. He has 20 years of insurance industry experience and specializes in Commercial Lines coverage. Prior to beginning his career in insurance, Jason was a Sergeant in the United States Army's 82nd Airborne Division.

He is an avid billiards and golf player, as well as a single malt scotch aficionado. Jason has been married to his wife, Vicki, since 2011. They have two children and four cats. When he isn't busy heading up J. Hoffman Insurance's Commercial Lines team, he enjoys fine dining with Vicki and their loved ones, playing Nintendo with his children, hitting the golf course or his favorite local pool hall with friends, and keeping up to date with local news as well as world events.

Lisa Zaccagnino is our home and auto insurance guru! She has 27 years of insurance industry experience in Personal Lines Account Management and has been with J. Hoffman Insurance since January 2016. Being able to consistently meet new people, and make sure they have the proper insurance coverage is what Lisa loves most about being an insurance agent.

Lisa a life-long resident of Orange County, who was born and raised in Chester and has resided in Montgomery for the past 33 years. She is happily married to her high school sweetheart and is the proud mother of three of wonderful adult children and two adorable grandchildren. She is also a devoted "dog mom" to her family's three pups.

When Lisa isn't providing our agency's clients with the best home and auto coverage, rates and customer service, she enjoys making memories with her family, cooking, spending time outdoors, and carrying on traditions she and her husband have had since they were teenagers, such as taking road trips, going to car shows and hopping in the car for long "Sunday drives" that could lead them someplace new or someplace familiar! She is too humble to talk about all the charitable efforts she and her family put forth in the community, quietly and lovingly, several times a year. But we'd be remiss if we didn't share the fact that Lisa has a heart of gold, regards all people with care and personal attention, and never misses a chance to make a difference if she can.

Shannon Kent is our Commercial Lines Manager and Jason's right-hand in servicing our agency's commercial lines clients. She has 28 years of insurance industry experience and joined the J. Hoffman Insurance team in August 2021. Shannon views her career in insurance as an opportunity to help people, and truly puts her heart as well as her experience in to every policy she touches.

When she isn't providing her clients the top notch service they deserve, Shannon is a devoted Mom to her son and daughter, two cats, and dog. Her free time is often spent with her children, completing home improvement projects, and playing pool.

Shannon was born and raised in New Jersey, and is currently a resident of Matamoras, Pennsylvania.

Eric Whitenight is our Personal Lines CSR and Lisa's tag-team partner on all things related to home and auto insurance coverage. If ever you have a question or require some assistance with your personal policies - Eric is your guy!

He joined the J. Hoffman Insurance team in November 2022 and has two years of insurance industry experience prior to coming on board. Before beginning his career as an insurance agent, Eric enjoyed a prosperous career in a variety of industries, including Wholesale Mortgage Banking, Heavy Industrial Recycling and Aluminum Ingot Manufacturing Sales. Fun fact about one of his previous gigs: He was a stage actor in the Santa Barbara, CA Shakespeare Company for three years!

Outside of the office, Eric enjoys spending time with his wife, children and two dogs. His passion is building road race cars, which is something he has done for more than 20 years. And, racing the cars he builds.

Eric and his family are recent transplants to New York from California. He was raised in Alameda, CA and now resides with his family in Goshen. He views his career in insurance as an opportunity to be of service, and to form long-lasting, meaningful relationships with his clients.
