Growing up on a family farm, the values of hard work and community were instilled in me and modeled from the beginning. Today, as your local State Farm Agent, I have assembled a team that seeks to serve our community as we work together to bring you the right insurance coverage at every stage of your life. No matter what the circumstances or how complex your needs may be, my team and I have one simple goal in mind: help you get the coverage you need with the personal service you'd expect. At our agency, we take pride in giving back and seeing many of our customers out in the community. When I'm not in the office, you might find me at an Illini sporting event or supporting one of our daughters' activities or volunteering. Specialties include: Auto Insurance ~ Home/Renters Insurance ~ Business Insurance ~ Life Insurance ~ Out of State Transfers Since graduating from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1988, I have worked in insurance for the past 31 years earning my Chartered Property & Casualty Underwriter (CPCU) and Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) Designations. I am an 18 time Ambassador Travel Qualifier and have served my community through the United Way of Champaign County, Rotary International and Champaign County Chamber of Commerce. I have been a Youth Sports Volunteer Coach and Safety Program instructor in the schools. We enjoy getting out in the community to volunteer and meet others who share this interest.
