In August of 2006 I returned from serving in Iraq.  During my tour, my father, who had ran an independent Farmers Insurance Agency for over 25 years, passed away.  We spoke before his death about continuing his legacy, and that is exactly what I have began to do.  I am envolved in multiple networking opportunities to try and grow this business, but my overall concern is satisfying existing and new clients.  I've had some rather interesting life experiences over the past few years and believe that I can best service the community by doing what I do now.  Many people don't understand the need for Life or Health Insurance or having the proper Liability Limits on their Home or Auto coverage.  Interestingly enough, medical claims and inadequate liability limits cause over 50% of bankruptcies.  Too many people are concerned about saving that extra buck so they can "biggie size" their next value meal.  Overall, I would like to grow with my clients over a lifetime, and see them successfully retire.
