ABOUT ME
Schaumburg has always felt like home to me. I grew up here and spent more than 25 years of my life in this community—going to school, learning to drive, building lifelong friendships, and making memories that I still value today. Being back in Schaumburg and serving the people and families in the community that helped shape me is something I’m genuinely proud of.
Family is a big part of who I am. I’m married and a proud father of three, and our rescue dog is very much part of the family, too. When I’m not at the office, you’ll often find me spending time with my family, traveling, at a baseball field, watching college football, or playing music—something I’ve enjoyed for much of my life.
I earned my Bachelor of Arts from Marquette University and my MBA from Lake Forest Graduate School of Management. Before beginning my career in insurance, I spent a decade working in professional sports, including time with Chicago’s professional football organization, Walter Payton, Target Chip Ganassi Racing, and the Chicago Motor Speedway. Those experiences taught me lasting lessons about preparation, teamwork, perseverance, and doing things the right way—values that continue to influence how I serve customers today.
For the past 25 years, I’ve built my insurance career around helping people prepare for life’s expected and unexpected moments. I especially enjoy working with individuals and families, families with children who have special needs, and small business owners. My team and I help customers understand their options for auto, home, life, and retirement planning so they can make informed decisions based on what matters most in their lives.
My approach starts with listening. No two families, individuals, or businesses are exactly alike, and I believe insurance should reflect that. Taking the time to understand someone’s goals, concerns, priorities, and stage of life allows us to have more meaningful conversations and help put the right protection in place.
Integrity, compassion, and personal service are at the heart of how I run my agency. I’m not interested in simply completing a transaction—I want to build relationships that last. As life changes, my goal is to remain a trusted resource customers can turn to for guidance and support.
Even after 25 years in the industry, I believe there is always more to learn. I remain committed to continuing my education, staying connected to the community, and finding new ways to better serve the people who count on my team and me for guidance and support.
Whether you’ve lived in Schaumburg for decades or are new to the area, my team and I would love the opportunity to get to know you. Stop by our office, give us a call, or reach out anytime. We look forward to meeting you and helping you plan for what’s ahead.
