Fall is upon us, and here in the Shenandoah Valley we are preparing for the leaf peepers. Traffic will be a bear! Make sure you know the coverages on your car insurance and if you need a "crash" course, call us! It's also a great time to consider reviewing your life insurance. I know at least one of you will be at risk for an unintended kerfuffle with a peeper!

Born and raised in Western Kentucky, along the Ohio River, I knew Front Royal would be my home when I saw the Shenandoah! State Farm selected me in 2010 to be the next generation State Farm Agent in Warren County. My mentor told me to get involved in something that taps your heart, not just because it's good for business. I partnered with the Humane Society of Warren County in 2012 to start what would become the organization's largest fundraiser. After serving nine years on the Board of Directors, three as President, I retired from that endeavor. In the fall of 2022, I began working with Downtown Front Royal, INC to build a board that contributes to revitalization efforts in Front Royal's Historic District. I love old homes (I live in the Historic District!) and old architecture almost as much as I love dogs! It's important to me to give back to the community that supports my business. Being able to help customers before a claim, making sure they have the right coverage, and then being there to help when the claim happens is the most rewarding part of my job. When I'm not at my office, you can find me digging in the dirt at my house, walking my sweet Golden boys Beau & Trigger, or hanging out on my front porch talking with my neighbors!
