Career
Over a 45 year career span, I have had the opportunity to work in most areas of an independent agency. Beginning in personal lines, I soon wanted to expand to commercial and then to agency operations. I am familiar with accounting, commercial marketing and rating, personal lines marketing and rating, and bonds. Being a mentor to new and inexperienced insurance personnel has encouraged me to continue my own education in a conscientious effort to give them the correct information. I have earned a CIC designation and love taking additional classes to keep up with current trends, coverages.
