My roots run deep in Elkhart, which is part of why I enjoy being an Allstate agent here. I understand the unique needs of this community after spending nearly three decades here raising my five children. The schools are excellent, and the many nearby lakes provide activities year-round.

I opened my Allstate agency in Elkhart in 2016 after a lengthy career in manufacturing. There are a number of skills from my experience in manufacturing that I bring to my work as an agent, including deep customer relationship skills and knowledge in analytics and accounting. I relish the opportunity to build lifelong relationships with customers as they make decisions that help protect what matters most: their family, home, car and boat.

I attribute my success to my wife. We met in Dayton, Ohio, when she attended University of Dayton and I was a student at Wright State University. Her steadfast support ensures that any endeavor I pursue, no matter how big or small, is well thought out and destined for success.

When I’m not working, my favorite way to relax is to spend time with my wife and our five children. Our favorite places to visit are Harbor Country in southeast Michigan or to visit family in central Ohio and Venice, Florida. Yardwork, golfing and watching sports are favorite activities of mine as well.

I look forward to meeting you! Stop by my office at 2707 Toledo Road.
