Most people are not passionate about insurance. I can understand that, but I have to say that I am. I love to help others by protecting them on their “worst day”, the day they have an insurance claim, so they can sleep better at night.

Over the past 25 years, I have studied the industry and learned and grown with it. I started my career in claims, then moved to claims management, and took a leap of faith as a captive agency owner (representing one insurance carrier) and now an independent agency owner representing many insurance carriers. It is definitely the right business model for me because I always want to find the right combination of carriers’ products to fit my customer’s needs.

Some other things I am passionate about are spending time with my family and friends, helping them and the people I work with flourish, daily work outs, University of Colorado at Boulder (I am a graduate), being a proud second-generation Colorado native, and pizza and beer!

If is fair to say that I am also an avid sports fan. I have coached youth teams in baseball, basketball, and soccer and truly enjoyed watching the young boys and girls grow into fabulous adults.
