<div><span style="color:black;font-family:'Calibri';font-size:11.00pt;">ABOUT</span></div>
<div><span style="color:black;font-family:'Calibri';font-size:11.00pt;">I've worked in commercial insurance since 1979. Transitioned to a professional lines broker in 1986. I've been a past president of local and State insurance groups as well as a founding member of the PLUS North Central Chapter. Professional lines truly interest me - there is always something new! I just love non-standard insurance forms and finding coverage!</span></div>
<div><span style="color:black;font-family:'Calibri';font-size:11.00pt;">My team will look for coverage that makes sense. We work hard for our agents so they in turn look good to their clients. If we can't help them, we will try to direct them elsewhere.</span></div>
