As a local State Farm agent in Rotterdam, NY I have had the privilege of helping customers with their Auto, Home, Life and Small Business Insurance since 1998. I enjoy being a part of my community and building relationships in the Capital District and throughout New York State. I have been proud to be a part of this exceptional company since 1984 as a claim associate, Re-inspector/Trainer, Claim Superintendent and eventually, a State Farm Agent.

My wife, Stacy, is also a State Farm agent. We relocated to the Albany area to start her business in 1990, and over the years we have seen our own family grow and change in ways that often mirror the changes that occur in the families that we serve. As luck would have it, my youngest son, Kevin joined our team after graduating college just a few short years ago.

We appreciate the opportunity to serve the families and businesses of the Capital District and our many customers across New York State. Please give our team a call, send us an email or text, or take advantage of our 24-Hour Customer Care for your Car, Home, Life, and Small Business Insurance needs.
