A family-owned independent agency for over five decades

The Halstead Agency was founded in 1966 by Robert L. Halstead, Sr. In 1987, Mr. Halstead’s son-in-law, Anthony Trapasso, Jr., acquired the agency. Working alongside his current team of his son, Anthony Trapasso, III, his two brothers-in-law, Michael and Kevin Halstead, son-in-law Michael Alfego, and an experienced and talented team of 16 insurance professionals, have all contributed to the growth and development of this very successful family business. Their motto of offering only top-rated products with personalized solutions, while maintaining long-term client relationships, strong underwriting, and aggressive sales goals, have helped the agency grow into what is now two locations in Fitchburg and Sterling, MA.

“Our attention to the client experience has helped drive our company’s success since my father-in-law started the agency,” said Trapasso. “What excites me about joining AP is the shared value of being a strong partner for our clients.”
