Securing Family Legacies Since 1981

Independent – Family Owned – Client Focused – Since 1981
 
SD Mohn Insurance Services is a family-owned and operated, independent insurance and financial services firm, founded in 2012 by father and son, David Mohn and Scott Mohn. With a combined 60 years of experience in the insurance industry, we specialize in helping individuals, families, and business owners make wise financial decisions — minimizing risk, protecting assets, creating wealth through strategic leverage, and building legacies that last for generations. Our expertise includes advanced tax mitigation strategies, estate and legacy planning, and business continuation planning. We are licensed in Life and Disability insurance across more than a dozen states, including California, Arizona, Nevada, Washington, Oklahoma, Texas, and Florida. To keep our firm at the forefront of the industry, we regularly attend specialized tax, estate, insurance, and financial planning events and maintain strong partnerships with leading professionals and innovators. At the heart of our firm is a simple but powerful principle: the client always comes first. To deliver truly unbiased advice and the highest level of service, we chose to remain fully independent. By affiliating with First Financial Resources — a respected, 100% member-owned producer group since 1987 — we maintain complete ownership and control of our business. This structure ensures we are free from any insurance carrier influence, allowing us to focus solely on what is best for each client. As a true father-son team, we share the same strong moral and ethical values. David built the foundation of the company, and Scott serves as his succession plan, ensuring continuity of trusted, personalized service for decades to come.

David Mohn, President

David brings over 45 years of dedicated experience in the insurance and financial services industry. Driven by a passion for helping clients make wise financial decisions, he specializes in minimizing risk, protecting assets, and using strategic leverage to create and preserve wealth that becomes a lasting legacy for families and businesses. His expertise includes advanced tax mitigation strategies, estate and legacy planning, and business continuation planning. David built SD Mohn Insurance Services on a foundational value: the client always comes first. To deliver truly unbiased and independent advice, he made the deliberate choice to keep the firm independent — free from the control or influence of any outside insurance carrier. A firm believer in long-term legacy, he sees his son, Scott, as his natural succession plan. Together, they share the same strong moral and ethical values, giving clients the confidence of consistent, trustworthy guidance across generations. Outside of work, David enjoys traveling the world — especially to Italy — with his wife of 48 years, Dani. They also cherish spending time with their four grandchildren in California and Oklahoma. David looks forward to continuing his impact by helping clients create meaningful legacies that benefit this generation and the next.

Scott Mohn, Vice President

Scott brings 15 years of experience in the insurance and financial services industry and a lifelong passion for business. Growing up with a strong interest in business operations and numbers, Scott studied accounting and business management in college. He launched his insurance career independently in Montana before joining his father, David, at the family firm. Scott complements the company’s deep experience with modern balance and innovation. From sales and client service to technology implementation, he helps the company stay efficient and competitive in today’s fast-paced environment. Through hands-on mentoring from his father, industry networking, and studying advanced financial strategies, Scott has developed a well-rounded expertise that strengthens the firm’s ability to deliver exceptional results. As David’s succession plan, he ensures the firm’s independence, integrity, and personalized approach will continue for the next generation of clients and their families. Scott lives in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, near Lake Tahoe, with his wife Kourtney of seven years and their two young children. He is raising his family with the same integrity and values his father instilled in him. They enjoy boating, kayaking, backpacking, and exploring California’s diverse outdoor landscapes from the mountains to the ocean. Scott also gives back to the community by coaching Little League, while Kourtney volunteers at their children’s school.

Life insurance stands out for its remarkable power of liquidity, delivering immediate, tax-advantaged cash exactly when it matters most. This liquidity serves as a vital tool for income replacement, ensuring families maintain their standard of living without the need to liquidate other assets during a difficult time. In estate planning, it provides the ready funds to cover taxes, debts, and final expenses, allowing heirs to receive clean assets rather than inheriting financial burdens. For succession planning, life insurance offers seamless capital to facilitate business buyouts or ownership transitions, preserving operational continuity without disruption. Finally, in retirement, the policy’s cash value and living benefits create flexible supplemental income streams while safeguarding the death benefit as a lasting legacy for loved ones. Ultimately, this unique liquidity transforms life insurance into a cornerstone of financial security, offering options, stability, and peace of mind throughout life’s journey.
