About Me

Spring has finally returned to Southwest Michigan! Whether you're getting your sports car out of storage, thinking of buying a boat, or need to add your newly-licensed teen as a driver on your policy - my team and I are here to help you and your household get ready for a great spring and summer.

I've been with State Farm since 1988 helping people manage the risks of everyday life and protecting what matters most to them and their families. We're here to offer the people of Battle Creek and surrounding areas the right coverage for their particular needs at a fair price. Every customer is unique, so my Team and I take the time to listen and build relationships with each and every person. The personal attention we provide helps us build customers for life!

After growing up in this area, I attended Ferris State and obtained a degree in Business Administration. Two weeks after graduating college I started full-time with State Farm and haven't looked back! It's been a dream and pleasure to help serve the people where I grew up, and I look forward to many more years of local service!

I'm very proud to be a husband, dad, and now grandpa, as my family is my rock and my motivation in life. I understand the importance of family - that's why I want to help you protect yours.

My Team and I are here for you when you need us. Call us today so we can start the conversation about what's most important to you!
