As a lifelong Rockland County resident, I feel tremendous pride about the community that I live and work in. The charming small towns, bucolic surroundings, easy access to New York City, and strong school systems all serve to make this area a wonderful place to raise a family. Having previously worked in the financial services industry for almost two decades, it has been extremely rewarding to open a business in a town that embodies the many values I hold dear. I truly believe in the importance of my industry, something that is underscored by the numerous members of my family who are agents for Allstate. My wife and two of my brothers-in-law have their own Allstate agencies in Westchester County and together we could not be prouder to represent an organization that values the importance of giving back to the local community. Personally, my wife and I have three terrific children. We have two sons in middle school (ages 13 and 11), as well as an 8-year-old daughter. They certainly keep us busy with their involvement in a multitude of sports. Coaching my children in lacrosse, wrestling and football has been one of the more rewarding experiences in my life. My wife and I support several charities, through either a personal connection that we have and/or a firm belief in the importance of giving back. Included amongst those are JDRF, the Good Shepard, Autism Speaks, Purple Purse, our local food pantry, and our police and fire departments. We are also involved members of our local church. As an Allstate agent, I consider myself a trusted member of the customer's family. While I firmly believe in the importance of protection, I am just as committed to working with customers and their families to provide Allstate coverage that is within their financial means. Although other insurance providers may advertise cheaper rates, it is often at the expense of individualized customer service. I refuse to sacrifice one for the other and will continue to provide customers with a personalized and trusted experience. I invite you to pay us a visit and join our Allstate family!
