As we enter Thanksgiving season, the month of November encourages us to reflect on the people we’d do anything for. Protecting them extends beyond the dinner table conversations. Life insurance can support your family in ways you might not see today - but they may depend on tomorrow. Reviewing your coverage during November can help establish stability heading into the new year!

I’ve been proudly serving as a State Farm agent since November 2010! Our offices in Buffalo, located in the heart of Elmwood Village, and Lockport are eager to help customers protect what matters most. With over 100 years of combined experience in the industry, our talented team is ready to assist you today!

We offer a wide range of State Farm insurance products and services, including Auto, Home, Life, Health, and Business Insurance. In addition to Buffalo and Lockport, we proudly serve customers in Lockport, Newfane, North Tonawanda, Wheatfield, Akron, and throughout Western New York.

My wife Sara and I both grew up in Lockport, where we now live with our three amazing kids – Jaxson, Fiona, and Violet – and our dog, Dash. When I’m not in the office, you’ll find me coaching hockey, snowmobiling, or spending time on the lake with my family.

My brother-in-law is a State Farm agent in Rochester, and he introduced me to the incredible opportunity this career offers to make a real difference in people’s lives. I’ve always found joy in helping others, and being an agent allows me to guide families and individuals through life’s ups and downs, ensuring they’re protected and supported.

At our agency, we take pride in offering a personalized approach – we know that no two people are the same. Every customer has unique needs, and we take the time to understand their goals and tailor coverage to fit their situation. Building relationships is the foundation of our business. Whether you are a new or long-time customer, we make it a priority to sit down and get to know you – and we want you to feel like part of our family too. We love being part of the local community and always enjoy running into customers around town.

Over the years, I’ve been honored to receive several recognitions, including qualifying for the Presidents Club (top 50 agents out of 19,000) four times, as well as earning Chairman Circle and Ambassador Club distinctions.

Beyond insurance, I stay actively involved in our community. I’ve coached local hockey for many years and participated in the Men Wear Pink breast cancer campaign. Our office also serves as a drop-off location for local clothing donations, helping those in need.

If you’re looking for a local agency that genuinely cares about you and your family, our experienced and dedicated team would love to meet and assist you. Stop by the office or give us a call – we’re here to help you protect what matters most!
