Summary
Most of my life I have been in around the insurance industry. My father was the district manager for Farmers for 20 years and as such I have seen and acquired a skillset I believe can make me a valuable contributor to any insurance related job. My work with Farmers allowed me to understand and navigate the trials of business ownership and I believe prepared me for success moving forward. My current involvement in my family's independent agencies has improved my knowledge and grasp on the industry as a whole.
