  Owner

  I became a State Farm agent in 2005 with the encouragement and mentorship of my best friend who is also a State Farm agent. With that career change I brought over 30 years of business development, leadership and entrepreneurship experience to my agency. I am fully licensed in all insurance lines in North Carolina, including Property & Casualty, Business Insurance, Life Insurance, Health Insurance, Long Term Care, Medicare Supplement and have also secured my Series 6 and Series 63 Securities licenses. I pride myself on being a business solutions expert, specializing in helping potential or existing business owners define their market and their business needs, write business plans, design sales and marketing strategies, identify gaps in their business and liability coverages and structure their business retirement, life insurance and estate plans.Over my sales and business career I have created and managed numerous businesses and franchises in various industries, like residential and commercial carpet cleaning and flooring, auto glass replacement and repair, retail and wholesale sunglasses stores and internet marketing.I also have extensive expertise in the technology arena, which encompasses web design, internet marketing, search engine optimization (SEO), pay per click marketing, high speed internet and IT design.I have also been involved in medical sales in the home health care industry, which provides me with a unique perspective into the long term needs of seniors and long term care insurance.
