ABOUT OUR AGENCY

I opened my first agency in 2008 and expanded with a second office in 2025. Today, I lead a team of 12 across both locations. Before becoming a State Farm agent, I worked in Corporate Finance. I was drawn to agency ownership because I wanted to build my own business and have greater control over my future.

I'm a graduate of both the University of Delaware and Villanova University, married, and a proud father of three. Giving back is important to our team, and we're proud to support organizations including our local food bank and the Autism Society of Delaware.

Our agency offers health benefits, a Simple IRA, paid time off, holidays off, licensing costs paid up front, and a strong commitment to work-life balance. We also believe in recognizing and rewarding team members who perform at a high level.

Our culture is high-performing, customer-focused, and team-oriented. I'm looking for someone who is self-motivated, friendly, eager to learn, and genuinely enjoys helping people. If you're a team player who wants to grow, serve customers well, and be rewarded for strong performance, we'd love to meet you.
