The Journey Begins

My adventure in the insurance world began in 2012 with State Farm. Those early years were foundational, filled with learning experiences and moments of true connection with my clients. I cherished every opportunity to protect what matters most to them. However, as I grew in my profession, I began to see the limitations of being bound to a single insurer's offerings. My clients' needs were as varied as their dreams, and I yearned to provide solutions as unique as they are.

A Leap of Faith

In July of 2018, I took what I consider the best decision of my career—I went independent. This transition was not just a change in my professional status; it was a leap towards delivering unparalleled service and flexibility to my clients. By having access to over 50 insurance companies, I could now offer a spectrum of options tailored to each client's specific needs and desires.

The Power of Choice

Going independent meant that I could now provide my clients with the power of choice. The ability to compare various insurance products and find the one that not only fits their budget but also provides the coverage they genuinely need is invaluable. From safeguarding your home, protecting your journey on the road, ensuring your family’s future with life insurance, to covering your entrepreneurial spirit with small business insurance, the focus is always on customizing your coverage.

Education at the Core

One of my core beliefs is that understanding your insurance policy is paramount. That's why I've dedicated myself to providing an educational process that ensures you know exactly what you're getting. It's not just about having insurance; it's about being confident in your coverage. I take pride in demystifying the complexities of insurance policies, helping you make informed decisions that empower your life.

Building Dreams Together

My passion extends beyond policies and premiums. I am deeply committed to helping others achieve their dreams, especially the dream of homeownership. There’s something profoundly rewarding in knowing that through tailored insurance solutions, I can play a part in making those dreams a reality.

Looking Forward

As I reflect on the journey thus far and look towards the future, my dedication to you and your family remains unwavering. The decision to go independent has enabled me to build professional relationships based on trust, transparency, and tailored solutions. I look forward to continuing this journey, exploring new possibilities, and strengthening our connection in the years to come.


Choosing the right insurance coverage can be a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. By going independent, I’ve ensured that your needs are at the forefront, offering personalized advice and coverage options that truly match your lifestyle and aspirations.
