I have been active in the insurance industry and community. I have attended numerous insurance schools and classes over the years. I have been active in the Agents Association on a local level and was a member of the Board of Directors for the state association.

I served and helped the citizens of the Rockwood area in numerous ways. I was a member of the fire department for 40 years and served as chief 16. I served on many commissions in the City of Rockwood. I am an active member of St Mary’s Church where I have served on many parish and school committees and boards.

I have been married to my wife Lorraine for over 50 years. We have four children and 15 grandchildren. We enjoy going to the events of the grandchildren.

I take the trust our insured place in us very seriously and want to continue the superior service the agency has provided since 1890.
I have learned from my father the importance of community and industry involvement.

Golf is a passion of mine. I coached high school golf for over 20 years and had the privilege to work with many outstanding student at St Mary Catholic Central and Riverview High School. I was involved with the Big I National Championship for 20 years. I had the pleasure of meeting many you people from around the country through my involvement in running, local, the Michigan state tournament and national committee. Golf is a great lifelong sport that promotes exercise, sportsmanship and is a nice way to meet many different people.

I started my insurance career in 2015 working for AAA. I have worked for companies including State Farm, AllState, and Look Insurance. I have my insurance producer’s license in Property and Casualty, Life, and Accident and Health.

In March of 2020, I had an opportunity to work for Mercure Agency and accepted the position. I love that I can provide service to people who live in my area. The belief of treating people like you want to be treated is very important to me.

What I love about working for Mercure Agency is that I have an opportunity to grow my knowledge and finding different avenues in helping our clients.

In the September 2019, the opportunity to be closer to home brought me to Mercure Agency. The Mercure Agency always had a special place in my heart because my grandfather was the “Bob the Barber” next door. I received my Resident Producer’s License in October 2019 and became a Notary in November of 2019.

The best part of my job is I get to help so many people in the local area with their insurance needs. I love the “family” feeling that our office has. My goal is to provide individual, professional service to each of my clients.
