Summer is a great time to enjoy everything Eastern Washington has to offer—from community events and family gatherings to outdoor adventures around Cheney, Medical Lake, and Spokane. It’s also a great opportunity to review your coverage, whether it’s for your vehicle, home, business, farm, or family’s future. Our goal is to help our neighbors feel confident knowing they’re protected for whatever the season brings.

From the open road to the fields at home, I’m your trusted companion. I provide reliable, personalized protection tailored to your unique needs—whether it’s your vehicle or your farmland. With me, you’re never alone; I’m by your side from those toddler first steps to your golden years.

My wife Lynda and I grew up in small towns in western Wyoming, where we developed a love for ranch animals, especially horses. After moving several times, we settled in Spokane in 2011 and have loved calling it home ever since. Our daughter is a Gonzaga alumna living locally, and our son, his wife, and our two grandchildren live in Denver. Outside of work, we enjoy church, skiing, boating, hiking, fishing, and following Gonzaga basketball.

As State Farm customers for over 45 years, and an agent for more than 5 years, we know the value of strong protection and opportunities. We’re honored to serve the Cheney and Medical Lake communities and help our customers understand how State Farm can safeguard their lives and assets.

We’re active members of the Medical Lake Kiwanis Club and West Plains Chamber of Commerce and proud sponsors of local schools and athletics. Through organizations like Bite 2 Go, we’re committed to giving back and strengthening our community.

We’re excited to help you explore life insurance options that protect your family’s financial future. Stop by or call us to ensure you and your paycheck are covered—because with me, you’re never alone.
