From the very first day I walked on the trading floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, I knew instantly that financial services would be my life’s calling. That is still true today. Now as a State Farm Agent, I draw on decades of financial experience in ways that directly help people and their families in my community.State Farm has so many amazing tools, from insurance to protect and grow assets to retirement planning. That’s why my approach starts with education and conversation. Asking about insurance is a simple question with complex answers. We get to what matters most in people’s lives so we can help our customers prepare for the unexpected.This is what I love about being a State Farm Agent. There is so much my team and I can provide when we get the complete picture of someone’s needs and goals. It’s not just about insurance, it’s about having the knowledge to know what questions to ask in each situation. That’s the benefit of having spent two decades working in the financial markets building a firm foundation in risk management.I work closely each day with a team that’s just as passionate as I am about making a difference. As an insurance agent as well as a business owner, my role is to:• Ask the right questions—so we can translate complex insurance and financial options into a clear plan that protects what our customers value most.• Continue to build our State Farm Agency and support our community.• Give back to local causes, both as a business owner and personally.I’ll always have fond memories of my trading days and the action on the trading floor, but nothing compares to seeing a plan come together for my customers—and in the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Oregon is the perfect place to get outdoors and be inspired, and I am fortunate to be part of a community where I can make a significant difference.Specialties include: financial education | customer service | financial services
