Jeanine Devine was born and raised in St. Louis, MO. She began her career as a special education teacher in 1989 -1993. During that time, she worked with the youth at risk , the emotionally disturbed and learning disabled. Even though, it was a very rewarding job, it was a tough experience. So, she decided to try something different by joining a team of professionals that sold educational materials to families. This experience sparked an interest in sales. Her father had asked if she would like to get into the insurance business. He and his partner started their own insurance agency in 1972. With much thought, she decided to become an insurance producer for the agency in 1993. She first got licensed for property and casualty ,life and health. Then in 2002, she got her series 6 license to sell securities. In 2005 she ended up taking over her father's business after his passing away. Finally in 2019 ,she got her series 65 license which allows her to be an investment advisor representative. Because of her experience in education, she developed a passion to continue educating people on planning for retirement and wealth transfer. She feels it is important to recognize one's own financial health just like their physical health. Through AFEA, she can educate the community and "give back" and help guide Americans to a better retirement.

Jeanine lives in Chesterfield, Mo with her husband and 10-year-old son. Outside of the office, she loves to read books, walk, bike, hike outdoors as well as swimming all year round. She also loves traveling with her family.
