About me

In 1984, I joined State Farm as a claim employee in 1984. My first position at State Farm was estimating vehicles that were damaged; second, I was a claims person for a few years; and third, claims team leader for 7 years. The work I did in claims created a desire within me to become a State Farm agent. In 1996, I took the steps required to become a State Farm Agent and opened my State Farm Agency on June 1, 1998. My State Farm Agency will celebrated our 28th Anniversary as a State Farm Agency. I celebrated my 42nd Year Anniversary with State Farm on October 15, 2025.

I attended and graduated from The John Carroll School in Bel Air in 1980. I attended and graduated from Loyola College in Baltimore in 1984.

Our mission

Our mission is to help our customers have well-coordinated, efficient and effective insurance programs. Our practice is to offer insurance reviews to our customers as peoples' insurance needs change over time. During our insurance reviews, we help our customers analyze the insurance they own personally as well as any group benefits they may have through their employers. We look for duplications and gaps in coverage. We make recommendations to eliminate any duplications and fill any gaps that are discovered.

Why Choose Us?

My insurance journey began in 1984 when I first began working in claims. In that position, I witnessed firsthand how effective coverage can truly make a difference when unexpected events occur. This direct insight into protection sparked my desire to become an agent, a role I've held since 1996, building on decades with the company. My team and I are here to help people develop efficient and effective insurance programs designed to safeguard their families, incomes, and assets. We approach this by cultivating a setting where you feel at ease, never pressured into making a purchase.

You can depend on our office team to be friendly, reliable, honest, and professional in every interaction. We believe in providing proactive insurance reviews, understanding that your needs change over time. Through these reviews, we examine existing personal and group benefits to identify any overlapping coverages or potential gaps, then offer thoughts on how to strengthen your overall plan. This thoughtful approach, combined with our commitment to making your experience genuinely positive, is why we hope you’ll feel comfortable choosing to work with us and recommending our agency to others.
