I am a lifelong resident of New Jersey and lived in Hoboken for 15 years before moving to Paramus in 2008. I live here with my wife and our dog, Scruffy, who’s a frequent visitor at the office. We enjoy living here because of its great location and the welcoming members of the community.
Here in New Jersey, we’re lucky to be so close to amazing cities and nature. Both New York and Atlantic City are within driving distance and give us the opportunity to see a show, visit great restaurants or just get away for the weekend. When it comes to the outdoors, I enjoy taking Scruffy to Ridgewood Dog Park and frequent the nearby mountains, lakes and beaches when the weather is nice. I also love to travel and in 2017 we reached within 650 miles of the North Pole in winter!
The agency has been open since 2012 and being an Allstate agent gives me a unique opportunity to give back to the community. I’m a member of the Westwood Chamber of Commerce and of The Center for Great Expectations, a women’s shelter in Somerset. I also regularly attend and donate to the CBHCare Foundation’s Culinary Adventure which supports mental health programs and services in northern New Jersey.
My team of professionals is easy-going and knowledgeable about Allstate’s coverages and options for protection. Our coverage specialties include home, auto, life and helping you prepare for retirement. We would love to see how we can help you with your insurance needs.

Allstate Foundation Helping Hands Grant for The Center for Great Expectations
I am proud to have volunteered with The Center for Great Expectations. Because I believe in the cause, I earned a $1,000 Allstate Foundation Helping Hands grant to help The Center for Great Expectations provide mental health and substance use disorder treatment to women, men and children impacted by trauma, abuse and neglect.
Allstate Foundation Grant Supports New Jersey Coalition to End Domestic Violence
Domestic violence is an issue affecting every community in the country, including ours. As volunteers with New Jersey Coalition to End Domestic Violence, we recently helped the organization receive a $44,000 Allstate Foundation Helping Hands in the Community grant to support the organization’s efforts to help women affected by domestic violence. We’re proud to be one of thousands of Allstate agencies around the country rallying together to support domestic violence programs, so they can help victims reclaim their independence.
