Meet The Team
Connor Faupel
Owner/Agent
After earning my degree in Finance from the College of St. Scholastica, I knew I wanted to build a career in the insurance industry. I’ve always enjoyed working with people and helping them find practical solutions to life’s challenges. That passion led me to open my own independent insurance agency—so I could serve clients directly, with care and integrity. Since 2017, I’ve been proud to help individuals and families navigate their insurance needs with clarity and confidence. My goal is simple: to provide you with the best insurance experience possible, and I’ll go out of my way to make sure that happens. Outside of work, I enjoy playing hockey, fishing, and golfing. I’m married to my amazing wife, Tia Faupel, a Doctorate Nurse Practitioner at Mayo Clinic. Together we’re raising our energetic little boy, Brooks, who keeps us on our toes! We also share our home with two spirited Miniature Dachshunds, Lou and Mille.
Al Faupel
Office Manager/Agent
After Al spent several years in the US Army, he began a long and successful management career, with over 35 years in Operations Management. Al managed several PC distribution & configuration centers across the US, ending up in contract manufacturing at Pemstar and Benchmark Electronics. Shortly after retiring Al joined his son’s company, Connor Faupel Insurance Agency, as a licensed agent in the Office Manager role. Al has a bachelor’s degree in computer science and business management.
Jake
Agent
Originally from Melrose, a small town in central Minnesota, I graduated from St. Cloud State University with a degree in Economics. I entered the insurance industry in 2022, about a year after completing my studies, and haven’t looked back since. What I enjoy most about working in insurance is the constant conversation. Whether it’s checking in with a client, assisting with a claim, answering questions, or helping someone better understand their coverage, I find real value in being a resource and building relationships. Outside the office, you’ll likely find me on a golf course, shooting hoops, or catching a game with friends—anything sports-related is my go-to way to unwind and stay active.
