Duchinowski becomes independent agent

Insurance man Al Duchinowski has made some changes.

After serving Hudson two years as an Allstate agent, Duchinowski is now an independent agent representing 11 insurance companies. And he has moved his office from the Plaza 94 shopping center to the Grandview Professional Building overlooking the St. Croix River at 400 Second St. S.

Wisconsin-based West Bend Mutual and Allied Insurance Group are among the companies Duchinowski now represents. He concentrates on offering auto and home insurance, but also can provide life, health and commercial insurance.

Duchinowski has 13 years of experience in the insurance business. He referees middle school and high school basketball games as a sideline, including some games in Hudson. He and his wife, Annette, live in Prescott. They have three sons, ages 22, 20 and 16.

Duchinowski's Hudson Insurance Agency is located in Suite 255 of the Grandview Building. Office hours are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and by appointment on Saturdays. The phone number is 381-9785.
