I was born in Los Angeles and have lived my entire life in California. My wife, son and I graduated from California State University, Northridge. Our family loves poodles, and we have two of them -- Bentley and Aston Martin.
I began working as an Allstate agent in 1974, and my first location was a booth inside a Sears store. While working there, I met my future wife, who was demonstrating pots and pans at Sears during a break from college. We've been together ever since -- and, after more than 20 years of working in claims at Allstate, my wife Jo Ann became an agent, too. Our daughter Sharon also became an agent after graduating college with a business degree in 2005, and the three of us work together at our Woodland Hills agency.
Outside of work, I enjoy attending car shows and keeping tabs on the local real estate market, learning about the interesting homes and neighborhoods in the area. My wife is also a huge Lakers fan, so you might see us at a game!
As an Allstate agent, I've had the opportunity to work with and get to know people from every walk of life, and I'm even privileged to call some of customers friends. I love to work with people, and having the opportunity to help them through difficult situations they face.
I take pride in doing business the old-fashioned way, and at our agency, we strive to make sure that when you call, you can easily reach us. Whether you are looking for auto or life insurance or help with saving for retirement, we’re happy to help! Call us or stop by our office – we’re located near the Topanga Plaza Shopping Center.
