I began my career in the insurance industry in 1977 with Prudential Insurance Company, where I built a strong foundation in helping clients protect what matters most to them. In 1981, I took the leap to open an independent agency, driven by a vision to offer clients more choices, personalized service, and a family-centered approach to insurance. By 1984, we had grown enough to establish roots in our current office building at 2709 Easton Avenue—a milestone that remains a point of pride for me and our team.
Over the years, the agency has expanded both in size and in the range of services we provide, but our mission has always stayed the same: to build lasting relationships based on trust, service, and genuine care. I credit our continued success to the dedication and professionalism of the agents in our office, the strong partnerships we’ve built with the insurance companies we represent, and most importantly, the clients who have trusted us with their insurance needs, some for generations.
What I value most about this business is the opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives, whether by helping them recover from a loss or by giving them peace of mind through proper coverage. It’s been an incredible journey, and I’m proud of how far we’ve come, and excited about where we’re headed next.
In my spare time, I’m cheering on the Chicago Bears and soaking up every moment with my five grandkids—three boys and two girls who keep me busy in the best way. I’m also a big hot rod fan (I once owned a 1966 Pontiac GTO!) and love heading up to Booneville, NY to snowmobile, ride four-wheelers, and enjoy some quiet time in nature.
