I’ve been a State Farm agent since 2015—after beginning my career in banking and also spending time as a real estate agent—and my diverse experience is definitely an advantage when it comes to helping people with insurance and financial services. I’m proud to serve the residents of McKinney, TX and the surrounding area, including Frisco and Allen. My agency provides homeowners insurance, auto insurance, life insurance, renters insurance and more. And we serve speakers of both English and Spanish—hablamos español.

I’ve come to realize that the greatest pleasure of being a State Farm insurance agent is that I have opportunities every day to really help people. Young families and other new customers benefit tremendously from having coverage options explained to them in simple terms, and many of our customers tell us that we’re the first ones to help them really comprehend insurance policies.

Knowledge is power—and I love empowering our customers to make the most informed decisions for themselves and their futures. I find that once people truly understand what they need, they always know what to do next. It’s my job to give them that level of understanding.

I’m originally from Kentucky, but I’ve lived all over the South and West. I met my wife while studying at Brigham Young University in Idaho, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration, management and marketing. After graduation, we moved to California, then Kentucky, then back to California, before finally settling here in Texas. Now we have five beautiful children and couldn’t be happier here. I’m very active in our church community, and I love sports—especially basketball, which I played in my younger days. I also have fond memories of running on the cross-country team.
