She’s certainly come a long way since those days. Personal Life and Career: When she was 21, Vicki married Michael Wolfsmith. They had two children, Briana and Michael. At the age of 29, Vicki got divorced and became a single mother. She took a part-time job at her father’s construction company. One of her close friends advised her to purchase a life insurance policy for herself since she was the breadwinner for herself and her two small children. After further discussions with her friend, she decided to get licensed to sell life and health insurance. Within her first year she was ranked the top salesperson at her company. Her son Michael is a graduate of the University of Colorado Boulder and is working with Vicki at Coto Insurance.
