Your Trusted Insurance Guide with Decades of Experience
For over 30 years, the insurance industry has been my professional home. It's a field I entered at a young age, driven by the desire to build a career that empowers others. My journey began at 18 in the life insurance world, under my stepfather's guidance.
Since then, I've gained a wealth of experience across various roles. I've led regional sales teams for Workplace Benefits, tackled production in a Property & Casualty (P&C) office, overseen operations for a large multi-site P&C agency, and even ventured into agency ownership with two successful startups – one captive and one independent.
Through these diverse experiences, I've witnessed the vast landscape of the insurance industry. This in-depth knowledge allows me to leverage my expertise and assist others on their path to achieving their goals.
A Commitment to Service
While my professional life thrives on dedication, there's a foundational element that comes first: my family. As a devoted husband to my wife Donna for over seven years, I cherish the strong partnership we've built. Our family extends to include three successful adult children leading fulfilling lives with their own families. The true joys of my life, however, are our four beautiful granddaughters. They are the rays of sunshine that brighten every day.
Beyond Family
Beyond work and family, I unwind with sports. College football is my passion, but I also enjoy NFL, NASCAR, IndyCar, and college basketball.
Driven by a Desire to Make a Difference
At the heart of everything I do lies a fundamental principle: making a positive impact on someone's life every single day. Witnessing individuals achieve their aspirations fuels my passion. This is the driving force behind my dedication to helping others navigate the complex world of insurance. I believe the words of Nick Saban perfectly encapsulate the essence of achieving goals: "It's not what you want in life that matters, everyone wants things. It's what you're willing to do to get those things is what makes the difference!"
