I was born and raised in Marshfield, Wisconsin and attended UW-Oshkosh and UW-Stout, were I received my degree in Special Education. Following my studies, I taught Special Education for a year and went on to work as a school psychologist. In 1991, I became affiliated with Lee & Associates as a sales representative in the areas of life, health, auto, and property and casualty (both commercial and residential). I reside in Lac du Flambeau, where I enjoy water-related activities such as fishing, skiing and snorkeling in my free time.

I was born in College Station, Texas, a suburb of Houston and home of the Texas Aggies. As a result of my father’s career, we lived overseas and traveled to many countries to include Africa, Europe and the Holy Lands. I’ve visited all of the U.S. states and the Canadian Provinces. The traveling bug brought me to Wisconsin in 1985 and I relocated to Minocqua in the year 2000. I was drawn to the beautiful Northwoods with its many lakes and outdoor activities. I am active in my community and a member of the Lakeland Area Rotary Club and the Headwaters Builders Association. Presently, I am a fully licensed agent for Insurance Group of Wisconsin. My main focus is Business Insurance specializing in the Hospitality and Construction industries.

I enjoy working with business. How can I help? Please contact me at 715-356-0128.

I joined the agency in 2000, but have been in investments and insurance since 1994. I believe in my clients and have retained those relationships from 1994. Always wanting to retire in the Northwoods, I moved to the area in 1999 and purchased & managed a small resort in the area for 6 years. I can say without reservation that I do understand the needs of the hospitality business up here! Being a VietNam era veteran, I’m also involved in veterans affairs. Now residing and working from my home office in Saint Germain.
