About our Agency:

I opened my agency in 2011 and currently lead a team of 11 team members. Before becoming a State Farm agent, I worked as a sales manager for another insurance company, but I missed the agency environment and the ability to build something meaningful with a team—so I made the move to State Farm and never looked back.

I attended DePaul University and am a proud dad to two daughters. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring the city, trying great restaurants, and spending quality time with my kids. That balance between professional drive and personal life is something I value deeply and bring into the office every day.

For our team, we offer Free Lunch Fridays, free parking (a big perk in Chicago), a Simple IRA, health benefits, paid licensing, and a strong focus on work-life balance. Our culture is supportive, positive, and team-oriented, and the most important quality I look for in a team member is a great attitude. If you come to work motivated, positive, and ready to learn, you’ll fit right in here.
