I have been in insurance sales and Agency ownership since 2017. Prior to that i worked as an Independent Landman on multiple projects in ND, MT, NB, and KS from 2008-2015. Grew up working in family businesses Jack Monument and Designs in Stone Minot , Bismarck and the Bismarck Memorial in Bismarck North Dakota. Often times took breaks from Title work or other business to help out when needed in the family business until the sale of the businesses in 2018.
I started my insurance career with Northwestern Mutual right out of college. I was there for a couple years before working for my family again and then starting work as a Independent oil and gas landman. I transitioned back to Insurance once i got engaged to my wife and have been running an insurance agency for Farmers Insurance until now.
