I opened my agency in 1980, and it’s been a true pleasure serving the hard-working families that make up Brighton Park and surrounding neighborhoods. Additionally, as customers have grown their families and moved out of Chicago, our agency has been privileged enough to stay with them and expand to serve new families across Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin.

When it comes to the local community, I take pride in supporting charities, including youth sports and veterans’ organizations, the Brighton Park Neighborhood Council, the Holiday Heroes Foundation, and the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation. Outside of the office, I enjoy following sports, especially baseball, and spending time with my family. Family is really the most important thing to me, and it’s been great to have my wife, Mary Kay, and my sons, Bob and Tim, also help run the agency. Additionally, I have also been blessed with another son and daughter and nine grandchildren, all of whom reside in the Chicagoland area!

In closing, I’m proud to say I have a tight-knit, hardworking agency where all our staff are considered family. I originally became an agency owner because of Allstate’s great reputation and the personal interaction with the community. But it is the fulfillment that comes with helping customers protect their most valuable assets, and the resulting family-like bond that has developed between my agency and the customers, that really makes being an Allstate agency owner so rewarding.
