I am excited for the opportunity to serve our community in Phoenix Arizona. I am a third generation State Farm agent. My Dad is a member of the State Farm Presidents Club, and runs a successful agency in Tucson. My Grandfather has been an agent in Phoenix for 45 years. For the last decade I have been working as a recruiter and college basketball coach. My mission was serve the players I coached, and the goal was to see them go off to be successful and confident at whatever they chose to do. Now as a State Farm agent, I simply want to serve. And my hope is that everyone that leaves my office will feel confident they are protected from whatever life throws at them.

I met my beautiful wife, Joanna 12 years ago at a karaoke bar in Tucson, Arizona. We have been together ever since. We have two amazing kids, Summer (5) and Levi (3).
