For nearly three decades, Lastrapes Insurance built its reputation as one of New Orleans’ most trusted independent agencies—a legacy created by founder John Lastrapes, who has served Louisiana families since 1976. Now proudly entering a new chapter as LinDan Insurance, the agency continues that same commitment to integrity, personal service, and expert guidance under the leadership of longtime team members Lindsey Gibson and Dan Crowley. Having worked side-by-side with John for years, Lindsey and Dan carry forward the values that clients have come to rely on: treating every customer like a neighbor, delivering clear explanations of coverage, and using their strong relationships with multiple carriers to offer competitive pricing and tailored protection. From helping you select the right policies to assisting with claims and account changes, LinDan Insurance remains dedicated to serving you with respect, responsiveness, and the highest ethical standards. Still based in Metairie and proudly serving the entire state of Louisiana, they are here to stand by you—just as this agency has since 1995.
Owner / Agent
As an owner/ agent of Lindan Insurance, I’m proud to serve our community as an independent insurance agent with over 15 years of experience helping families and businesses protect what matters most. My goal has always been to provide personalized coverage solutions that fit each client’s unique needs — with the care, attention, and expertise they deserve.
Being an independent agent means I work for my clients, not the insurance companies. This allows me to offer a variety of options from trusted carriers, ensuring you get the best combination of coverage and value. Whether it’s home, auto, flood, or commercial insurance, my focus is on building long-term relationships and providing peace of mind through every stage of life.
I reside on the New Orleans lakefront with my wife, Ellis, and our two young children, Porter and Holland. When I’m not helping clients, I enjoy spending time with my family and taking advantage of all the wonderful culture, food, and community that New Orleans has to offer.
