Ted Ruttinger
Managing Partner
Ted Ruttinger is a name known far and wide in the Senior Healthcare Insurance Industry. Not for sales or awards or growth – all of which he’s achieved – but for being one of the best friends and people out there. To know Ted is to love Ted. He started his Western Penn Adventure when he moved to Arizona back in the mid-1980s. After working as an agent for years and spending weeks out on the road selling, he loved the industry but was looking for a way to be home a little more, so he and his brother started up the Western Penn Marketing agency that we are still excited to be a part of today. Joining Integrity Marketing Group at the start of 2018 has brought a new adventure for Ted with a new excitement for the years to come. Learn a little more about Ted in his own words on the Integrity Inspire Podcast, Episode 35 here.

MaryAnn Carabajal
Office Manager
MaryAnn has been a Western Penn Family member since Day 1. She’s worked with us for over 30 years and we hope for our sakes she’ll be here 30 more. Her tenacity, attention to detail and 100% follow through are what have kept the WPM wheels turning all the years, but her ability to take care of agents and clients with compassion and a smile are what have helped make us such a success. If you ask MaryAnn for help, her guarantee surpasses all others. “As an agent who has worked with Marianne over the years I can describe her by degree as someone who is smart, efficient, congenial, pleasant, likable, personable, charming and amazing. She is a wonderful person.” Steve K.
Jeremy Palmer
Agent Services
Jeremy Palmer is our Lead Service Representative at WPM. Whenever our agents have questions or issues, they know Jeremy will be there to talk to and help them get the answers and resolutions they need. He loves getting to know the agents he works and has become an integral part of the Western Team. “Several years ago while searching a new Medicare Supplement carrier through Western Penn, Jeremy answered the phone. He was so friendly, I liked his attitude immediately. It was obvious he loves what he does. Jeremy has always been tremendously helpful with everything I am looking for. He made my contracting easy, and over the years I have continually reached out to him as he is my "go to" guy. He is like a bull dog with a bone! Never fails to provide the information I need in a timely manner. Need a link? Jeremy is your guy. Need info on a carrier? Jeremy is your guy. Years of awesome service has created a bond. I think he refers to me as his surrogate Nana! He and his family are always welcome when they make a trek to California.” Billie Jo C.
