I have been an agent with State Farm for 26 years.  I am fortunate to work in this great community and have been active throughout the years in several civic organizations.  Jefferson City is a community rich with tradition and outstanding residents.  As the state’s capitol, we are home to state agencies that encompasses thousands of people working with Missouri residents providing a multitude of services.

I am married to my wonderful wife, Ellen, and have three boys.  They have great families and all reside in Missouri.  My wife Ellen also works for State Farm so it’s certainly a family affair.

When I  began my State Farm career, I worked for ten years in life and health company operations in Columbia MO.  The opportunity to work directly with insureds to help them protect what is important to them and recover from the unexpected was too exciting for me to pass up and is why I chose to become an agent.  I have thoroughly enjoyed it.  Over the years I have had the great honor of working with many outstanding policyholders.  It motivates me and my team to do everything we can to provide outstanding products from a company second to none.

I have also had the great honor to serve my country in the Missouri Army National and retired as a Colonel in 2015.

We look forward to working with you to provide the superior products and services.  Don’t be surprised if we ask questions about you and your family.  We want to get to know you and care a great deal about what’s going on in your life. ~
