NEWS:

  • Our office will be closed the 4th and 5th of July

    TIPS:

    Here are some insurance tips to keep in mind for the 4th of July:

    • Review your homeowners or renters insurance: Check your policy to ensure you have adequate coverage for any potential damage or liability that may occur during your celebrations, such as accidents, property damage, or injuries to guests.

    • Fireworks safety: If you plan to use fireworks, make sure you understand the laws and regulations in your area. Some insurance policies may not cover damage caused by fireworks, so be cautious and follow all safety guidelines.

    • Grilling safety: If you're hosting a barbecue, review your liability coverage in case someone gets injured on your property. Ensure that your grill is in good working condition and properly positioned away from flammable materials.

    • Pool safety: If you have a pool, make sure it is secure and meets all safety requirements. Check your insurance policy to ensure you have liability coverage for any potential accidents or injuries that may occur.

    • Review your auto insurance: If you're travelling during the holiday, check your auto insurance policy to ensure you have adequate coverage. This includes liability coverage, comprehensive coverage, and roadside assistance.

    • Protect personal belongings: If you're hosting a gathering, consider moving valuable items indoors or securing them to prevent theft or damage. Check your insurance policy to understand coverage for stolen or damaged personal belongings.

    Remember, it's always a good idea to review your insurance policies regularly and speak with your insurance provider to ensure you have the coverage you need.

ABOUT ME:

I opened my first State Farm office in Raleigh in 2009 after joining the company in 2000 and learning the business from the ground up. I opened my Durham location in Kitt Creek conveniently located near RTP.

We’re known for a very personal, high level of customer service. No one is just a number or a sale to us—we care about our customers, and we have a passion for helping people manage everyday risks, plan for the future, and protect the things that matter most. We listen and learn about your unique needs, and we work with you to come up with a coverage plan that fits you just right. Our customers are like family to us—we form relationships with them that last for years, and we appreciate every one of them.

As for me, I’m from east Tennessee originally, and went to college in Florida. Now I have lived in Raleigh over 25 years. I love living, working and playing in the Triangle. I’m married and have a dog, Teddy, who comes to work with me most days, and I enjoy working out, exploring different restaurants in Durham especially in downtown, and love catching a show or concert at the Durham Performing Arts Center. I also enjoy working to make a positive impact in the community. I’ve supported the SPCA, Meals on Wheels in Raleigh, Dress for Success, and the Salvation Army—and these days, I’m helping the Frankie Lemmon Foundation and Saving Grace, a local dog rescue in Raleigh. I love the feeling that I’m making a difference. I enjoy meeting new people and helping transplants to Durham and the surrounding area get settled here. I also enjoy networking with businesses in Research Triangle Park. My team and I team are always ready to help you find the right home, renters, auto, life, or business insurance for your needs.
