Our History
PDCM Insurance Inc. resulted from the merger of two successful agencies. Vaughan, Pedersen & McCausland Insurance, Inc. had its beginning in 1916. Bob Brown and Harry Dieckman formed the Brown and Dieckman Insurance Agency in 1936. The agencies have continued to expand through acquisitions and sales growth. As a continued leader in the area, Pedersen, Dowie, Clabby & McCausland (PDCM) is available to you for the management of your insurance needs. PDCM has a long history of operating a professional organization and performing only to the highest ethical standards.
