We are always happy to help you understand what coverage makes sense for your life today and where you’re headed.

I was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and moved to Huntsville at the age of three with my parents and younger sister. I attended Catholic High School and Huntsville High School, then continued my education at Birmingham-Southern College and the University of Alabama at Birmingham. After college, I spent several years living in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and Nashville, Tennessee before returning to North Alabama in 2017.

Before becoming an Agent, I spent over five years as a State Farm Agent Team Member and trained as a First Time Agent Candidate, giving me a strong foundation in helping customers with everything from everyday coverage questions to more complex needs.

Today, I’m proud to be one of three State Farm Agents in Guntersville, and currently the only one licensed to offer money Allocation Advice Representative services. That means I can support customers not only with protecting what they have now, but also with preparing for long-term financial goals through customized guidance. My connection to State Farm runs deep - my grandfather was a customer in the 1950s, followed by my dad, and now me. But my passion for this work, especially Life Insurance, is also very personal. I lost my mom unexpectedly to a brain aneurysm in 2007 when she was just 47. That experience shaped how I approach every conversation. I understand firsthand how important it is to have protection in place, and more importantly, to feel supported when life takes an unexpected turn.

I’m deeply people-focused and strive to show up as authentic, genuine, and trustworthy in every interaction. When I’m not in the office, you’ll probably find me golfing, fly-fishing, running, cooking, or spending time with family, friends, and my very sweet (and handsome!) 5-year-old German Shepherd. I’m also proud to be involved in the ACME Club of Huntsville and the Lake Guntersville Chamber of Commerce, staying connected to the communities I serve across Guntersville, Huntsville, and surrounding areas.

Whether you’re looking to protect your home and auto, explore life coverage, or understand how to prepare for your financial future, I’m here to help guide you through it. Stop by or give me a call here in Guntersville - I’d love to connect.
