Job title: President

Years in the industry: 9

Best part of your job:

I love having the ability to solve problems for our clients and make their lives as business owners easier. As an active producer, I get to see what challenges small and medium-sized businesses are facing and learn how we can help. As an owner, I can then invest the agency’s resources accordingly to meet the needs of our clients.

Biggest professional accomplishment:

Starting and growing a scratch independent agency is the accomplishment I’m most proud of. After working as a direct writer for six years, I had a solid understanding of what businesses truly needed from an insurance advisor. I wanted to bring that vision to life and after just two years, we’ve passed two million dollars in written premium, and we’re continuing to grow.

Fun fact about you:

My career in insurance almost never got started. After accepting a job offer from a direct writer, I had to pass four licensing exams before beginning nine months of training. After failing three of the four exams on the first try, I had to pass three re-takes on the same morning I left for training. If I hadn’t, who knows where I’d be today!
