Vern Fonk Insurance is well known in the Pacific Northwest region for its humorous and off-color television commercials, which generally appear on local late-night television and have run since 1994. After Fonk's retirement in 1995, Vern Fonk Insurance was owned by his son-in-law and daughter, Kevin and Rene Mulvaney, until they sold the business in 2010 to New York-based Confie Seguros as part of that company's plans to become the first nationwide insurance distribution company primarily dedicated to Hispanic consumers.
