As a third-generation resident of the Chicagoland Area, I've spent my life watching this community grow and thrive. After graduating from Fenwick High School, I earned my business degree at Northern Illinois University. I knew I wanted to build my career serving the neighbors I've known all my life. For 26 years I worked at Enterprise Rent-A-Car, providing transportation to thousands of local residents.After retiring from my first career, I knew I wanted to be a small business owner. My journey into the insurance industry began when my family faced an unexpected loss. Our local insurance agent didn't just help us file a claim - she guided us through one of our toughest times with compassion and care. That experience showed me how meaningful this work could be. Since 2020, I've been striving to provide that same level of service to our community with an agency that has been in business for over 45 years. Our team has extensive knowledge of auto insurance, home insurance, condo insurance, life insurance, and retirement planning.When I'm not helping clients protect what matters most, you will find me volunteering at our local food bank, walking at the Preserve of Highland Park with my wife, Karen, and our energetic Mini Bernedoodle, Sonny, and attending several events at Ravinia. As an active Highland Park Chamber of Commerce member, I believe in giving back to the community that's given me so much.My office door is always open - stop by for coffee and a chat about your insurance needs, or just to say hello. We believe in building relationships, not just writing policies. Whether you're a first-time homeowner, expanding your business, or simply want to review your coverage, I'm here to help with the personal attention you deserve.Not able to come during our office hours? No problem. I know life doesn't always happen between 9 and 5. Call my cell or text me anytime - protecting your future is worth the extra effort.
