Local boy comes home! After graduating high school from Red Oak in 1991, my future wife Leslie and I moved to Omaha, Nebraska. Spending the first few years trying to decide what I wanted to do when I grew up, I landed at the Nebraska Humane Society as the Director of Operations. In 2006, after 10+ years in the animal world, I decided to make a career change and start an insurance agency. I had family members that I had a great deal of respect for that were in the insurance industry and thought that insurance was something I would also enjoy. I spent the next 9 years building a very successful insurance agency in Omaha.

With aging grandparents/parents and two children (Emily and Elizabeth) in school, Leslie and I decided it was time that we moved home. So in 2013 we sold our home and our agency in Omaha and moved to a family acreage North of Red Oak. I continued working as an independent insurance agent until I received a call from the local State Farm agent, Barb Ray. Barb had been the State Farm agent in Red Oak for over 30 years and wanted me to consider interviewing for the position. Truly a once in a lifetime opportunity.

In December 2017 I officially became the State Farm agent in my hometown of Red Oak and couldn't be more proud! I have an incredible agency team and a beautiful office in Red Oak's historic downtown square. Our customers come to us from every community in Montgomery County including Red Oak, Stanton, Villisca, Elliott, Grant, Wales, Stennett and Coburg.

Our agency mission is to provide every customer with insurance options that fits their unique needs while providing remarkable customer service, respect and dedication. We strive to be the first choice for insurance services in Red Oak and Montgomery County.

When not at the agency, we have a family farm that keeps my wife and I extremely busy with cattle, sheep and chickens. Both Emily and Liz were/are active in high school and club sports including volleyball, basketball and track. And when the opportunity allows, my wife and I enjoy being out in nature hunting, fishing and gathering mushrooms or whatever else we can forage.

Please reach out today and give my team the opportunity to earn your business!
