With August marking the start of the back-to-school season in Chicago, parents and students alike are reminded to review their insurance coverage to ensure protection as they navigate the busy streets and prepare for the new academic year.

Loyal, energized, optimistic, and passionate. These aren’t just words to describe Chicago sports fans but are the tenets of the city itself. They’re also the reason I feel so connected to this special place. As a hopelessly loyal Bears fan (ONE DAY), an avid pizza connoisseur, and a massive music enthusiast I feel perfectly at home in windy city. Born only a few Metra stops from Union Station, I grew up with Chicago. And as my life changed so did the way the city showed up for me. Fresh out of college I frequented the tiny blues clubs and played volleyball on North Avenue beach. Later on I proposed in Lincoln Park and got married on Michigan Avenue. Both of my beautiful sons were born overlooking the lakefront at Prentice and to cap it all off I have been lucky enough to build my business in Lincoln Square since 2017. I still feel grateful not only for what the city has provided me – community, culture, and a career – but for the lessons it taught me. It taught me to be resourceful, resilient, and most importantly respectful.

As a State Farm Agent I feel it’s as important for me to reflect on where I’ve been as where I’m going. From the graduate nervously calling in about condo insurance, to the first-time father who suddenly realizes that life is worth insuring, I’ve been able to draw on my own life experiences to ensure that I’m not only embodying the State Farm core values and exemplifying what it means to be a “good neighbor” but that I’m going above and beyond to treat people the way I hope to be treated. To provide a level of service that not only speaks to experience but to the human experience.

Like all new adventures - my journey to this point hasn't been the easiest road. After all being tasked with protecting the things that matter most in life is no small feat. I left a cushy career in Advertising, leaned on my family to make sacrifices in order to support our shared goals and in the end it’s all been worth it! Today I’m able to open my doors and connect with, contribute to and serve the community and the city that has given me so much. In fact the city has given me everything. Now it's my time to return the favor. If you're in need of an agent who understands the value of not just things but the life that goes with them let's talk. Also GO BEARS! Couldn't resist.
