August in Minnesota is the perfect time to soak up the last days of summer, whether you're enjoying time at the lake, backyard barbecues, or family adventures before the season changes. As back-to-school preparations begin, it's also a great opportunity to make sure your insurance coverage is ready for everything the new school year brings.

Growing up in a State Farm family, I knew from a very young age that I wanted to be an agent someday. As you can see in my Facebook photos, I was just three years old sitting in my dad’s desk at State Farm. I loved the idea of owning my own business and representing the top company in the industry. I am happily married and we have three young children as well. We really enjoy spending time at the hockey rink and ball field for one of their many activities. I was born and raised in North Saint Paul, and we now live here in Eden Prairie. Growing up, my parents always taught me about hard work, honesty, and integrity. And these basic principles have guided me in running my agency. I think it’s also helped us to qualify for top programs such as Chairman Circle, Senior Vice President’s Club, and President’s Club. Something you may not know about me is that I lived abroad for about a year in college. My burning desire is to live a long happy healthy life, support my family, and someday hit a hole in one!
