I’ve been an Allstate agent since 1990, and I opened my University Place agency in 2003. When you meet me, you’ll quickly learn that I care about service: In addition to spending many hours a month on volunteer work, I’m dedicated to helping University Place customers with their key financial and insurance needs. My goal is to listen well and help you prevent and solve problems -- not just sell products. I grew up in Des Moines, north of Tacoma. My wife Jodie and I raised two children, Spencer and Alexa, here in Washington. Spencer now works in the audio-visual/publishing field in New York. Alexa works part-time in our Tacoma agency and is an avid community volunteer. We’ve supported Curtis High School football and basketball, and I’m a volunteer patient advocate at St. Joseph Medical Center, Tacoma General and Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital. Come see me at our University Place office — we’re right across from the new Town Center.
