#SummerSolstice #HomeInsurance #SummerReady #ProtectWhatMatters

I’m originally from Bloomington/Normal area where I grew up on a family run hog farm. I moved to Edwardsville, IL to attend SIUe in the Fall of 2010, graduating in the Spring of 2014. I am an avid football and baseball fan and self-proclaimed DIYer. I love restoring old homes and building furniture for friends and family. I’m an avid golfer (though I won’t be going on tour anytime soon) I love to get out in the fresh air and relax to play some golf. My wife, Katelyn, and I love to go on short weekend trips to take in the sights and sounds of new places we’ve never been before.

My mother having worked for State Farm for 36 years, I knew there was no other company I wanted to work for. After college, I moved to Louisville, Kentucky to start my career with State Farm as a Proximity Claim Specialist handling homeowner’s claims. In my time there I had the opportunity to handle large losses that displaced families from their homes. I have had the joy of being able to deliver the good news and funds to a family so that they know everything is going to be alright. I have also had the unfortunate task of delivering the opposite. My purpose as an agent is to look at current and future customer's lives from a holistic view. When the unexpected happens, they will know without a doubt that they can recover and move forward in life without any disruptions or hardships.
