Early in his Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance career, Miske held a variety of leadership positions in the life, property, and casualty and finance divisions.
“In his 40-year career with us, Mark has demonstrated that he can meet challenges head-on and develop impactful solutions,” said Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance Executive Vice President (EVP) and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Kevin Murphy. “Working and leading in different divisions throughout the company, as well as his previous leadership of a key life system development project, make him uniquely qualified for his new role.”
A graduate of Butler University, Miske earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting and a Master of Business Administration (MBA). He has also earned the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) designation.
“I’m looking forward to working with our team of employees and agents to be faster and better at making it as easy as possible for our clients and prospective clients to purchase and maintain the life insurance they need to protect them and their families,” Miske said.
He and his wife, Amy, live in Indianapolis and have two children. Nell is a sophomore at Ball State working to become a high school English teacher and Porter is a senior at Lutheran High School in Indianapolis. In his free time, Miske enjoys volunteering at his son’s high school and spending time with his family doing fitness and outdoor activities. He is also passionate about fighting food insecurity in Indiana.
