They say May showers bring Spring flowers! We could certainly use some Spring showers here in the Charlotte area. With Spring comes day trips to the beach and mountains, Spring Break for school kids, and vacation traveling. Be careful to check your tires, oil, water, etc. before you embark on a long journey. You might be glad you did! Be safe!

I started with State Farm as a Homeowner Adjuster in 1988 and 10 years later I opened my doors as an agent giving me 35 years serving the community. I earned my Bachelors of Engineering degree from East Carolina University — go Pirates! On the weekends, you are likely to find me taking my Harley Davidson out for a ride or reading an intriguing US Presidential biography. Additionally, my wife Jane and I advocate for adopting rescue dogs. To date, we've rescued six doggies and six kitties. We currently have a cat named Jake who understands the importance of having the right purr-tection.

My team and I take great pride in serving the individuals, families and businesses residing in the Carolinas. Providing outstanding customer service and insurance coverages have always been our top priorities. Every interaction we have with our policyholders involves professionalism, transparency, and kindness. Alleviating unnecessary stress and replacing it with a sense of comfort is a skill set we have mastered over the years.
