Before becoming a State Farm Agent, I represented individuals involved in automobile accidents during my career as an attorney That experience continues to shape how I help customers better understand their coverage options, prepare for unexpected situations, and make informed decisions.

👨‍💼A little about myself: I am married and live near Columbia, and my wife retired from teaching in 2025. We have four adult children, and yes, two of them actually work in insurance. Outside the office, I enjoy long walks, working out at the gym, biking, hiking, traveling throughout the U.S. and overseas, and spending time near the beach. I have completed two cross-country drives and hope to do another one soon. Community involvement has always been important to me. I am an active member, former President, and former Treasurer of the Rotary Club of Columbia Patuxent, which supports health and wellness initiatives throughout Howard County. I have also served as Board Chair of the Dancel Family YMCA in Howard County, as well as a Board Member of the YMCA of Central Maryland. Earlier in life, I managed youth baseball and coached girls' softball. I am also honored to have qualified for recognitions including President's Club and Chairman Circle.
