Get to Know Your Agent:
Born and raised right here in New Orleans, I’ve always carried the spirit of our city with me. I graduated from Louisiana State University with a B.A. in Agricultural Business, where I learned early on that protecting what you’ve built is just as important as building it. I’m also the oldest of four boys, which probably explains why leadership and looking out for others comes naturally to me.
My passion for Life Insurance started long before I opened my doors. When I was in high school, my family experienced the unexpected passing of my stepfather, who did not have life insurance. Seeing the hardship that followed shaped the way I view protection today—and it’s a big part of why I’m committed to helping families avoid that same struggle.
I’m married to my college sweetheart, and together we’re raising three amazing kids—a 12‐year‐old son and two daughters, ages 9 and 5—who keep our home full of joy, noise, and plenty of sports gear. When I’m not in the office, you’ll usually find me coaching at our local playgrounds or at my children’s school, cheering on the Saints and LSU Tigers, staying active, or serving at my local church. Authenticity and family are at the center of everything I do.
Since opening my agency in 2014, I’ve been fortunate to lead a team that has been with me from day one. We all grew up in this city, and together we bring more than 60 years of combined local experience in Property & Casualty, Life, Health, and Accident. We proudly serve the entire state of LA, with our home base right here in New Orleans, near the well‐known cemetery on City Park Ave and Carrollton Ave. We’re also a pet‐friendly office, and we’re happy to assist customers in both English and Spanish.
Over the years, our agency has earned recognition as a multiple‐time State Farm Ambassador Club Award winner, a State Farm Senior Vice Presidents Club Award winner, and are an annual Honor Club member. We were even ranked #35 on the State Farm Top 100 New Agent list back in 2008. Every one of these accomplishments reflects the confidence our community has placed in us—and we don’t take that lightly.
I’m honored to represent this incredible company and grateful for the opportunity to help you prepare for whatever life brings. Give us a call today so we can make sure you have the right protection in place for the road ahead.
