In my 15 years of insurance experience I’ve discovered four primary pillars. I believe in strong communication skills, excellent decision-making and supplying you with the knowledge to make the right insurance decision.
And most of all, I believe in relationships… with my family, friends, community and clients.
My definition of success as an insurance agent is simply this: When you no longer need to worry about your insurance, I’ve done my job.
