I started my insurance career back in 1992. I currently hold licenses in West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia, & North Carolina. Prior to the insurance career I served four years in the United States Marine Corps. I have been blessed to work with a lot of great people over the years. Some of my accomplishments are, I have earned my LUTCF designation, completed a course called AMTC, which stands for Agency Management Training Council, as well as completing some CLU courses. During my career I have qualifier for many sales leader conferences. I have also held several leadership positions in my career.Including being a General Manager for a former employer. I owe my success in the business to the following approach, I believe this business is a RELATIONSHIP building business instead of a insurance sales business. Because without the relationship you never establish trust. For someone reading this that may not know me, and needs my assistance, I would be honored to call you a friend as well as a client. Thanks you!!!

Life insurance is a love letter to your family. My goal is to educate families and business owners about protecting their families while they are leaving and when they pass. I have been in the life and retirement business since 1994.
Originally from Vermont, my home is in Giles County.
I enjoy hunting, fishing, four wheeler riding, and working out.
I have always believed in the "golden rule" therefore I treat my clients (friends) as I want to be treated. I look forward to helping you and your family.
