My family and I are originally from Poplar Bluff but now call the Joplin area home. We have enjoyed meeting people in the area and have appreciated the warm welcome. I am honored to serve individuals, families and businesses as a State Farm agent. Since opening my agency in June 2026, my mission has been simple: help people protect the assets that they've worked hard to build while creating a plan for their future.

I chose a career in insurance because I believe financial security and proper protection can make a tremendous difference in people's lives. Whether it's helping a young family purchase their first life insurance policy, purchasing insurance for a home or business or preparing for retirement, I enjoy helping customers make confident decisions about their future.

My wife, Tisha, works alongside me in the office, making this truly a family business. We have been married for 21 years after meeting at church in our teens. Our son is currently attending Missouri Southern State University in Joplin, and we're proud to support him as he pursues his education and future goals.

When I am not in the office, you'll usually find me outdoors. I enjoy spending time outside with family and friends, and I especially enjoy playing golf- even if my scorecard doesn't always reflect my enthusiasm. The game keeps me humble and reminds me that improvement comes from persistence, something I bring to serving my customers every day.

At our agency, we believe relationships come first. We strive to treat every customer like family by providing honest advice, personalized service, and a commitment to being there when you need us most. My team and I look forward to helping you protect what matters today while preparing for tomorrow.
