I have an amazing wife with whom we have four beautiful children. I have been an insurance agent in Mankato since 2016.  From working with individuals of all backgrounds, I love helping find the right insurance products to fit each household's goals for protection as well as fit within their budget. I work to protect every household as if it were my own.

 

When I am not working in the office, I love to give back to the community by volunteering my time both in and out of the classrooms with Junior Achievement.  I love helping educate youth to better prepare them with financial literacy.  

 

I also enjoy coaching many youth sports for my kids.  Anything from baseball, football, to hockey, I love giving my time to help not just make better players but also better people.

 

Enriching the lives in the communities I serve while putting people before profits are the two foundations that guide me every day.
