Fall has arrived! It's the 4th quarter. Just like in football, games are won in the fourth quarter. The two minute warning sounds, the clock is ticking, and smart teams make every second count. Your insurance and retirement plan work the same way - and the clock is running on 2026.

Before time expires this year:

• Give your auto, home and life insurance a fourth-quarter review to help make sure your coverage kept up with your life.

• Employer Sponsored Retirement account contributions must be made by December 31st - there's no overtime in this game.

• Take any required minimum distributions from your retirement accounts by December 31st - again overtime doesn't apply here and if you don't take those RMDs you will receive a penalty. This one isn't in yards but tax penalties!

• Revisit your retirement income plan while there's still time left in the game!

• Don't let the clock run out on your goals. Call in, click in or text in - my team and I are here to help with your Personal Price Plan in the 4th quarter to help you win in 2026!

My professional career in insurance started with State Farm almost 35 years ago in 1992. For over three and a half decades, I have had the privilege of working closely with individuals, families, and business owners, and non-profits helping them navigate their insurance and retirement. Those early experiences shaped my approach to customer service—I saw firsthand how complex insurance could be and knew I wanted to make a difference. So, in 1996, I decided to become a State Farm agent and opened my own office in Akron, built on the values of honesty, care, and personal service. I’m thankful to work with an incredible team that shares my commitment. Whether you’re reviewing coverage for the first time or updating an existing plan, we’re here to help. We proudly serve Stow, Cuyahoga Falls, Peninsula, Munroe Falls, Akron, and the entire state of Ohio, making sure our Good Neighbors have the protection and retirement income they need.

We understand that insurance and retirement can feel overwhelming, but our team is here to simplify the process. We’ll guide you through the various options, explain coverage details and retirement options in plain language, and help you make informed decisions. If you’re a new driver in need of Auto Insurance or exploring Life Insurance options to help protect your family's future, or need to start saving for retirement, we’re here to assist. We offer Home, Renters, and Condo Insurance to help protect your living space and belongings. Passionate about outdoor adventures? Our Motorcycle Insurance options are perfect for those who love exploring the open road. No matter where life takes you, we’re here to offer friendly guidance and dependable support.

Outside the office, I enjoy sports, playing golf, and volunteering. I’m a proud husband and father of two wonderful adult children, and my family is a big part of everything I do. Giving back to the community is just as important to me as helping my customers, and I’m honored to help support Habitat for Humanity, Stow Bull Dog Bags, Cuyahoga Falls Little League baseball, local high school sports and the Akron-Canton Regional Food Bank. These organizations play a vital role in fighting hunger and providing essential resources to those in need, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute to their mission.

Our team’s unwavering dedication to excellence has earned us prestigious State Farm honors, including President’s Club in Commercial Insurance Lines, Crystal of Excellence, and Ambassador Life. These achievements reflect our commitment to providing exceptional insurance services to our community—something we are proud of and intend to continue for many years to come. If you’re looking for a local office that puts relationships first, my team and I would love the opportunity to earn your business. Please stop by our office or give us a call today for a Personal Price Plan®. We look forward to working with you!
