Welcome!

Fall gardening, storing lawnmowers, and keeping winter firewood organized makes your detached sheds and garages vital parts of your property this September. Home protection automatically includes safeguards for outbuildings, covering repairs if fire, fallen trees, or vandalism impact your detached spaces. It preserves every building on your lot so your tools and storage stay secure. Taking action this month safeguards every structure on your land.

I have been proudly serving as a State Farm Insurance agent since 2018. In August of 2021, our State Farm office opened and has been protecting our community and serving the insurance needs of the Gunnison area ever since. This town means the world to me. I was born and raised here and am now an active member of the volunteer fire department!

After graduating from Gunnison High School, I attended junior college at the New Mexico Military Institute before graduating from Metro State University in Denver with my bachelor’s degree in business management. I played baseball throughout all four years of college.

My wife Kim and I were married in Gunnison in 2018. We welcomed our daughter, Kennedy Sue, to the family in May of 2020. We welcomed our son Cole on June 28th! When I’m not in the office, I love vacationing with my family and enjoying all of the natural beauty that the Gunnison area has to offer. Some of my favorite outdoor hobbies include hunting, shooting, riding my ATV, camping, and playing golf.

I was inspired to become an insurance agent to help educate people about finance. There are so many options when it comes to insurance, retirement, and everything in between. I understand how daunting those choices can seem, and I want to be a resource to help my customers make informed decisions.

At our agency, we are committed to building lasting relationships. We meet regularly, face-to-face, with customers to keep up to date on what’s going on in their lives. This helps us ensure they are prepared for the unexpected and set up to achieve their financial goals.

We offer a wide variety of services, including Auto, Home, Life, Business Insurance, and other financial service products. In addition, I am a Charted Life Underwriter and a ChFC. Our office is proud to serve Gunnison, Crested Butte, Mt. Crested Butte, Lake City and all surrounding areas with their insurance and financial needs.

Our priority will always be to assist our community, our customers, and their families. As an insurance professional, husband, father, and active member of the Gunnison Volunteer Fire Department, I strive to not only protect my customers but also contribute positively to the place we call home!
