Its Life Insurance Awareness Month! Life insurance is LOVE insurance. My team and I know its important to show our customers the options they have to protect their loved ones. We pride ourselves on having a comprehensive conversation to make sure we are providing you the right policy for your budget.

As a native Washingtonian, I have been delighted to serve the Washington, Maryland and Virginia areas as a State Farm Agent since 1997, and have been with State Farm since 1991. My team and I offer a wide variety of products to include auto insurance, home and condo and renters insurance, life insurance, disability insurance as well as financial services.

I have been very involved in the insurance and financial services profession and recently served as the National President of NAIFA (National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors). My volunteering with NAIFA allowed me to travel all over the country and speak not just to other producers, but to regulators and legislators as well. I have held multiple briefings with members of Congress and their staffs about the legislative and regulatory issues that matter to our customers. I have also taught many and various classes to other producers helping them to grow in their practice and understanding of matters in our profession. I continue to serve our industry as the Secretary of LifeHappens and will soon return to the executive committee of NAIFA as our National Treasurer.

I have also spent many years volunteering with several area schools and have served on 4 separate boards, including as President of two school boards. The most fun however has been in coaching over two dozen youth sports teams over many years and trying to keep up with the players!
