Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we are asking everyone to wear a mask if they need to do business in person at our office. We will also wear a mask for any in person business. For your safety and the safety of our team, we ask that you allow us to handle simple transactions by phone, text, email, or fax. However, we do understand that some transactions are better handled in person. For that reason, we remain open to the public subject to local and state guidelines.

I started my State Farm career in 1988. I've been a State Farm Agent for 23 years and before that served as a State Farm Homeowner Adjuster for 10 years. My lovely wife of 33 years, Jane, also worked for State Farm in the Auto Claims Department, so between the both of us, we have a good deal of both homeowners and automobile claims experience. As an accomplished harpist, Jane plays for our church orchestra, weddings, & for Hospice.  I attended East Carolina University earning a BS Engineering Degree and love attending Pirate football games. I like riding my Harley Davidson motorcycle when it's nice outside and also like reading US Presidential biographies. One of my goals is to read a biography of every US President. So far I've read biographies of Washington, Jefferson, Truman, Kennedy, Reagan & Bush.  Jane and I advocate for adopting rescue dogs.  We've rescued four puppies and currently have a 15 year old Lab, Molly. We also have a kitty cat named Jake!

We love being able to serve our State Farm customers using the experience we and our team have accumulated over the years to help our customers with the coverage they need and also with any claims they might have.
