Thank You, Shawnee, for Our Nomination!
Thank You! So honored to be chosen the Best of the Best Insurance Agent in Shawnee! I do things quite differently. None of us like surprises on our worst day. Death of a loved one. Our home and possessions are gone before our eyes. Medical bills mounting. Very bad things happen to very good people. My passion is relationship. You will want someone you know and trust when life happens. It would be my honor to be the familiar face and voice on those days when your family will need it most.
