Brandon Vanderbeck

As a Financial Professional in East Norwich, I know many local families. My knowledge and understanding of the people in this community help me provide customers with an outstanding level of service. I look forward to helping families like yours protect the things that are important – your family, home, car and more. I can also help you prepare a strategy to achieve your financial goals.

I started working at the Vanderbeck Agency a few months ago and recently became licensed. What most excites me about work is being able to help people not only save money but also making sure their family is protected and covered.

I grew up in Holbrook, NY. I have four kids that are amazing: Aidan, Avery, Isabella, and Christopher. On the weekend, I am always running around with them and my fiancé.

John Duffy

I have been working within the insurance industry after my graduation in May of 2016. The Vanderbeck Agency has guided me to understand the importance of putting my clients first and always being there for them. Satisfaction in others is what most excites me on the job; meaning that I am able to make sure that people of not only the community, but New York are safe and properly protected when insuring with my agency. Understanding that I can allow someone to feel safe is why I come to work engaged, and with a smile every morning.

I grew up in Staten Island, NY, and I attended The University of Scranton for two years pursuing a nursing degree. I completed my college career at St. Johns University with a bachelors degree in accounting. Personally, as a two-year finalist in the New York City Golden Gloves, I can speak about boxing all day and different ways of working out. I thrive off of healthy living as well as every day routine in and out of the gym. 99 percent of the time you can find me in the gym or eating, but occasionally, I will make an appearance or two on the weekends in the city, preferably downtown. Although I am obsessed with training, I do enjoy jewelry and staying up to date on fashion.

Before I started working at the agency, I used to volunteer at a therapy practice in Staten Island. I was always passionate about helping others and making them feel secure which explains why I got into the industry.

I started with the Vanderbeck agency back in October 2017.

Being a customer service rep really excites me on a daily basis. I get to interreact with so many wonderful people each day. I love getting to know more about our clients.

When I am not working you can find me at the beach or doing something fun with my friends and family. I enjoy going to Long Beach on the weekends.

Gerry Fitzpatrick

I have been in the insurance industry since 2009 and worked for a top commercial insurance company for the last 10 years before joining the Vanderbeck Agency. I enjoy problem-solving and helping people navigate the insurance world as it can oftentimes be convoluted and difficult to navigate.

I grew up in Northport, NY. I attended Chaminade High School in Mineola, NY and later graduated from Villanova University in Pennsylvania. I love the outdoors and I am an avid surfer and mountain bike enthusiast who also enjoys watching NY Sports teams and Villanova Basketball! When I am not working you can find me in the outdoors, anywhere in between the ocean and the woods. I surf year-round on Long Island, NY and have even surfed during blizzards and hurricane swells.

I am involved in C.L.I.M.B., the mountain bike nonprofit group that maintains all the mountain bike trail systems on Long Island and advocates for new trail systems.

I started at the Vanderbeck Agency in April of 2019. I love working in the insurance field. I really enjoy talking to clients on a daily basis and working with such a wonderful team.

I grew up on Long Island. When I am not working you can usually find me at the beach or doing something fun with my dog Maverick. I have two cats and a dog. My desk is full of pictures of them.

Tyler Gaudet

I grew up in Hauppauge, NY. I received my Bachelor’s in Marketing from Siena College in 2020. I love helping people every time I can get someone more coverage at a better rate is a huge win! I enjoy talking to people and building personal relationships to benefit both parties in the end.

I love playing and watching Hockey. Let’s go, Islanders! I played semi-professionally in E-sports for the game NHL 16. On my days off, you can find me on the golf course playing a round.

I like to volunteer for breast cancer awareness walks. I help raise money and register people on the day of the walks.
