Hey I’m AC VanRaden,

I grew up in Fargo ND,  graduated from Fargo North in 2009. I met my wife at a campus Ministry ski trip in 2011. It took 3 proposals for a yes. We were married in August of 2014. We have 3 amazing kids Luke, Hadley and Ellie. My hobbies are  hunting, four wheeling, snowmobiling, hiking, camping and shooting( skeet, trap, pistol, rifle, you name it.)

I got started in the insurance industry in February of 2020. Before that I ran a school age childcare program in Hawley MN for 6 almost 7 years. I love working in the insurance industry and I get the opportunity to build relationships all across the US. My real passion is building relationships with people. I love that the Ag and Commercial side of the insurance industry enables me to do that.

I started VanRaden Agency LLC in July of 2023 and quickly added my first employee in January of 2024 and my second one in 2025. I love working with farmers. Whether it be crop, beef or dairy farmers.

I Started in the Insurance industry in early 2025.

I am also in the North Dakota Air National guard as a Civil Engineer. I’ve been enlisted in the Air Force for 13+ years now and love every second of it.
Previously I worked as a field service generator technician at Cummins Inc. My favorite part of being a service technician was working on engines and electrical systems, solving complex problems, and finding solutions for customers.

I love working in the insurance industry because it allows me to travel, every day is something new. It’s always fun to see how each farm is a little bit different then the next. It also allows me to meet new people and build relationships.
