My path to become a State Farm agent was not a conventional one. After graduating from the University of Georgia with a Bachelor of Arts I became a campus minister at the University of Southern Mississippi for 6 years. Following that I started a career in the pharmaceutical industry. I did that for about 9 years, but I was really looking for a career that would allow me to have more direct interaction with customers. I had a friend that worked for State Farm and introduced me to this wonderful opportunity. Choosing to start my career as an insurance agent proved to be rewarding for multiple reasons; I was able to move back to my hometown of Columbus and work with this awesome community and then additionally, seeing the impact my business has had on local families in need of insurance and financial help has been extremely fulfilling.

I love that my business is a part of the growing Columbus community. There are new restaurants and businesses opening every day. It has been fun raising my family here in Muscogee county as well. We all enjoy hiking and other outdoor activities and thankfully lots of it to do here. We are also huge University of Georgia football fans so driving to Athens on the weekends for games is a lot of fun.

I am grateful for the opportunity I have been given to help Columbus and the surrounding areas with their auto insurance, homeowners insurance, life insurance, renters insurance and any other insurance needs. Come pay us a visit, we are looking forward to seeing how we can help you!
