Morgan Esposito, ACLC, SBCS

Senior Account Manager

I have been with Caldwell Insurance since 2018, as both a commercial and personal lines agent. My favorite thing about insurance is being able to help people find the coverage they need and to problem-solve with them to find the best solutions we can. I have lived in the foothills for many years, and enjoy the slower pace of life our area has to offer. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two kids, relaxing with friends, and enjoying our beautiful mountain scenery.

I don’t have much experience in insurance yet, but I have worn many hats over the years with raising 5 kids, and most recently I worked in social services. I enjoy hearing all of your voices when you call in and getting to know our clients better. I’m excited to work with such an amazing team and look forward to learning all about insurance.

I grew up in the Bay Area for most of my life. We live in such a beautiful area that I love discovering new places to go for a hike, swim, or just enjoy all that the area has to offer. In my spare time, I enjoy thrifting & finding old pieces, and making them new again.

I love spending time with my kids and my boyfriend, John. Weekend getaways or just hanging out and grabbing dinner and a movie!

Nicholas Johnson

Assistant Account Manager

I’ve recently embarked on an exciting journey in the insurance industry, driven by my passion for assisting people and guiding them towards informed decisions.

Originally from Burbank, California, I spent 14 years honing my skills at In-N-Out before relocating to Sonora. As a dedicated father, my world revolves around my family. When I’m not at work, you’ll often find me in the kitchen, cooking up a storm for my loved ones.

Away from the office, I enjoy playing pool and making bets with coworkers on silly things. My weekends are a blend of relaxation at home with my children and adventurous culinary explorations, as I love discovering new places to eat.

I’m also a proud supporter of Murph’s Life, a charity committed to transforming the lives of families in third-world countries with their inspiring stories shared on social media.
