In looking at the past articles that I have read as a resident, I can see a few commonalities in the ones I have chosen to read:

So, why should you read mine?  My hope is that you see this information as a tangible benefit or return on investment by taking the time to read the content.

Insurance is not fun (even though I think it is).  Insurance is not exciting.  Insurance is tricky. It's not like buying a chair or a shirt or groceries. When you buy insurance, you're buying a promise. It's a promise that if something catastrophic happens to your home/car/business/life, your carrier is going to assist you to make you and your loved ones whole again. Sometimes, though, it's tempting to question the value of insurance because it is an intangible product.

In life, losses are inevitable, and the degree to which these losses impact our lives varies. Insurance lessens the impact by providing financial benefits for covered losses. There are many types of insurance available, but there are some that top the charts in terms of importance. Home/property insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, health insurance, and automobile insurance are five types that everyone should have.

Insurance was not my first career choice out of college.  It wasn’t the glamorous world of advertising and public relations that I spent four years studying.  However, when I decided to interview with State Farm many years ago and I was hired as a claims representative I experienced first-hand the impact I had on customers during a critical time of need.  It was from this experience that I learned how important it is to have the proper protection and that starts with your local agent.

The most important part of being a State Farm agent is making a difference in people’s lives and helping to strengthen our community every day. It means I’ll always put your needs first. It’s my job to empower you with the advice and education to make the best insurance and risk management decisions for you and your family.  

So from now on, I’ll be one of the experts fielding your insurance questions. I hope I can help you make sense of what’s going on in the world of insurance, set the right goals, and live a protected and healthy life.
