Insurance companies have different markets and specialties, and you either fit or you don’t. Fortunately, independent agents like myself have the freedom to work your account through different companies, placing you with the option that best suits your needs.

That doesn’t happen automatically. It only happens when your agent is hardworking, knowledgeable and more concerned with your well-being than with getting your premium payment on time. I don’t expect to know or understand everything my doctor or vet tells me. I trust my retirement adviser, my banker and my priest to keep me straight on my road. That’s always been my mindset for my clients as well.

The truth is that I can insure almost anything and most of the time at the best rate. If I don’t instill the confidence and trust in you that I am your partner, then it doesn’t matter. I’m not going to “sell” you insurance. I don’t have customers. I have clients that I provide a service to. Insurance is a need we all have. I’ve built my career through hard work and honesty, educating and helping my clients to navigate the waters of what could be a complicated world.
