About me

Here are a few things to consider for Fall:

  • Auto insurance: coverage for new drivers, verify liability and medical coverages.

  • Home/Renters: confirm limits reflect any new items purchased.

  • Everyday protection: ask about additional options that may help keep your family covered for the unexpected.

If you’d like a quick review, message or call our office to schedule a time.

From everyday routines to long-term goals, having the right Auto Insurance, Home Insurance, Life Insurance, or Business Insurance can play an important role in protecting what matters most. Whether you're commuting to work, settling into a new home, growing a business, or thinking about the people you care about, our office is here to help you better understand your coverage options and make informed decisions. We also help with Renters Insurance, Condo Insurance, Pet Insurance, health coverage, and fire-related insurance needs, taking the time to explain how different products may fit your situation without making the process overwhelming.

My commitment to helping people began with the example set by my father, who spent more than 43 years dedicated to serving customers. His passion for helping people find coverage that fit their needs inspired me to build a career focused on helping neighbors protect what is important to them. For 47 years, I have proudly served individuals, families, and business owners throughout Red Bay, Vina, and Hodges, AL, as well as Belmont, Golden, and Tishomingo, MS, and communities across Franklin County, Alabama, and Tishomingo and Itawamba counties, Mississippi. As a lifelong local resident, I value the opportunity to build lasting relationships and provide guidance rooted in an understanding of our area and the people who call it home.

I graduated from Red Bay High School and earned a B.S. in Marketing from the University of Alabama. Over the years, I have remained active in the community by serving as Chairman of the Red Bay Hospital Board and previously leading the Red Bay Civitan Club, the Franklin County Chamber of Commerce, and the Red Bay High School Booster and Tip-Off programs. I am also honored to have received the State Farm Crystal Excellence Award in recognition of my achievements.

Family has always been at the center of my life. My wife and I are proud parents of four daughters and grandparents to seven grandchildren. Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, staying involved in my church, and participating in community activities. These experiences continue to shape how I serve others with compassion, respect, and professionalism.

Our office is conveniently located in Red Bay, across the street from the Red Bay Train and Water Tower Park and two doors down from the Red Bay Museum. Whether you're reviewing existing coverage, exploring new options, or looking for answers to your insurance questions, I invite you to stop by, call, text, or connect with our office for a personalized quote.
