Insurance is personal, and that’s how I approach my work every day. I’ve had the privilege of helping customers throughout Oakland and the East Bay better understand their coverage options and make informed decisions in a challenging California insurance environment. The difference at my office has always been the relationships we build and the time we take to truly listen.

I’m proud to be a small business owner and longtime resident of Oakland, where I opened my office on Keller Ave in 2012. My wife and I live nearby with our dog, and when I’m not working, you’ll usually find me outside hiking, gardening, or taking long e‐bike rides to Alameda or across the Bay Bridge. I also enjoy writing, playing guitar in my band, supporting local businesses, and catching a good basketball game. Go Dubs!

Our office is located in the Ridgemont Plaza on Keller Ave, where we operate as a boutique agency focused on responsive, personalized service. We help individuals and families protect what matters most with Auto Insurance, Life Insurance, motorcycle, pet, and electric vehicle coverage, along with financial services. If you’re navigating California-specific considerations, including fire-related coverage questions, I’m always happy to talk through your options.

Community involvement has always been important to me. My office regularly partners with local organizations that support youth development and community well-being in East Oakland, with a focus on building stronger systems and opportunities for young people. Giving back locally is simply part of how we show up for the community we serve.

Before becoming a State Farm agent, I worked in education and training within the high-tech industry and played semi-pro baseball. I’m also a proud graduate of San Francisco State University, experiences that continue to shape how I communicate, educate, and advocate for my customers today.

I look forward to connecting with you and helping you put together coverage that fits your life. Feel free to reach out or stop by the office anytime!
