About me

Your Shelton State Farm agent is here to help with life insurance. I work with local families, homeowners, and growing households who want to protect their loved ones and prepare for life's next chapter. Whether you just moved to Mason County recently had a baby, or are watching your kids grow up fast, my office can explain your life insurance options in plain language. I also help with auto, home, and renters insurance. Call my Shelton office or stop by to talk about life insurance.

As your local insurance agent, I understand the unique needs of our community and the importance of having someone you can truly rely on. I chose this career because I wanted to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives and that purpose still drives me every day. Helping customers protect what matters most and recover financially when the unexpected happens is the most rewarding part of what I do.

Our team works with families, individuals, and small business owners to navigate insurance options with confidence. Whether you’re searching for auto insurance, comparing home coverage, or exploring life insurance options, we’re here to make the process simple, clear, and pressure-free. Proudly serving Shelton, Union, McCleary, Grapeview, Allyn, Belfair, Elma and the surrounding areas.

We offer a full range of coverage, including auto, homeowners, renters, life, business, condo, motorcycle, and boat insurance, as well as pet medical coverage, liability umbrella policies, and financial services. We take the time to educate you, answer your questions, and explain how your coverage works so you can make informed decisions that truly fit your needs.

Our commitment extends beyond insurance. We’re passionate about giving back to the community we serve. Our team proudly supports local schools and teachers, food banks, domestic violence shelters, Adopt a Pet, All Kids Win, and other meaningful organizations. Through our Community Buck Program, we donate $25 to a local nonprofit whenever someone mentions that organization while receiving a quote in our office!
