Growing up on a small dairy farm in SE MN instilled a lot of important values and traits such as honest hard work and community centered, that led to my success in future endeavors. The following 10 years after graduating from school, I worked in the metal industry as a welder/metal fabricator for my brother's small business. My insurance industry experience started in 2012, where I helped families overcome the financial implications of going through illnesses and injuries. This experience led me eventually to here, a licensed insurance agent with Health Markets, which drastically expanded my resources to help our clients and to advise them on navigating the health insurance markets. Being down to earth, caring, patient, and loyal to our customers, are some of my defining traits that my customers appreciate when doing continuous business with me and Health Markets. In 2015 I got married to Susan, who is a licensed daycare provider. We have 2 kids ages four and seven and we have lived in Rochester, MN for over 12 yrs. My favorite hobbies include playing basketball, guitar, going on walks with the family, and also learning about health and fitness.
