When it comes to my connection to Allstate, you could say it runs in the family. My grandfather was an agent and manager until he retired in 1977. My dad has been an agent since 1981, and my brother has been an agent since 2003. I've been licensed since 2003, but I like to say that I started working in the business as soon as I was old enough to take photos while doing inspections with my father. When I was old enough to read, I began filing papers for my dad and, when I graduated college, I worked on his staff. I continued the family tradition and opened my agency in 2010.
I moved from my home town of Grove to Mannford to open that agency and opened my second office in Lawton in 2011. The best thing about Lawton is its sense of patriotism. Being a military town, we take great pride in honoring the people who have given service to our country.
Although Lawton is a small town, there's never a shortage of things to do. My fiancée and I enjoy catching a movie at the local movie theater or watching the races at Lawton Speedway (one of the coolest ways to spend a night out). When I'm not in the office, you'll find me riding my motorcycle around town, enjoying Lawton's beautiful scenery or officiating high school and college football – I’m also an avid Sooners fan.
I became an Allstate representative because I knew I wanted to be there for members of this community when the unexpected occurs. When I was a child, I visited the scene of a house fire with my father. The homeowner’s house had just burned down and the family had lost two children in the fire. As the firemen were putting the fire out, I watched my dad comfort them, providing a sense of stability in the chaos.
It's not after a fender bender that you need a great representative, it's after a catastrophic loss. Helping people when they’ve lost everything is why my staff and I do what we do. It’s why we’re the best insurance agency in town – because we do things right. Stop by today to say hello or to see how we can help you protect what matters most.
