I started with State Farm as a Homeowner Adjuster in 1988 and 10 years later I opened my doors as an agent giving me 35 years serving the community. I earned my Bachelors of Engineering degree from East Carolina University — go Pirates! On the weekends, you are likely to find me taking my Harley Davidson out for a ride or reading an intriguing US Presidential biography. Additionally, my wife Jane and I advocate for adopting rescue dogs. To date, we've rescued six doggies and six kitties. We currently have a cat named Jake who understands the importance of having the right purr-tection.

My team and I take great pride in serving the individuals, families and businesses residing in the Carolinas. Providing outstanding customer service and insurance coverages have always been our top priorities. Every interaction we have with our policyholders involves professionalism, transparency, and kindness. Alleviating unnecessary stress and replacing it with a sense of comfort is a skill set we have mastered over the years.

  • auto insurance

  • homeowners insurance, renters insurance and condo insurance

  • pet insurance

  • business insurance

  • life insurance and health insurance

  • boat insurance, golf cart insurance, and ATV insurance

  • In South Carolina: Indian Land, Fort Mill, Rock Hill,

  • In addition to the cities listed above, we are licensed to service the entire North Carolina and South Carolina.

The commitment I have to my job and my customers has earned me recognition from State Farm including Legion of Honor, Bronze Tablet, Silver Scroll, and Ambassador Travel Qualifier.

As an active member of my community, I donate to First Harvest Food Bank, CRU Military Ministries, One Heart Global Ministries, Common Heart Food Bank, A Servant's Heart Ministry, and The Russell Family Ministry to Metro NY. In addition, I serve at my local church in the Worship Ministry and as a choir member. My wife, Jane, also serves in the worship Ministry playing in our church orchestra.
