Everything I do starts with my customers. I’m absolutely focused on delivering a smooth insurance experience, so they can feel confident with their choices and their coverage. As a local State Farm agent serving people in Redding, CA and the surrounding area—including Shasta Lake, Bella Vista and Palo Cedro and now the state of Oregon, Arizona and Nevada—I am dedicated to helping my neighbors understand their needs and find the right plans for their lives.

I opened my agency in 2014 because I knew I had the right approach to make a real difference for my customers. With years of experience in the financial industry, I can help people by translating the jargon, explaining what each option can do for them, and by always offering exceptional customer service throughout the insurance process. My friendly, professional team and I strive to be there on your worst day, and we are always here to answer questions and offer support.

I’m a 2007 graduate of CSU Chico with a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance, and I’m honored to be part of the Redding community. I am a member of the Shasta Lake Chamber of Commerce, and I also support our local food banks and other causes. Outside the office I love spending time with my kids, exploring the local hiking and biking trails! I also enjoy getting out on the golf course when I can.

My office is here to help with all your insurance and financial service needs, including auto insurance, home insurance, property insurance, business insurance, health insurance and life insurance. Give me a call or stop by my office today—we look forward to working with you!

Wildfire Safety: Tips to help you assess your risk and identify ways to help protect your home and family

Every year, wildfires threaten homes throughout the United States, especially those located in or near wilderness areas. The wildfire safety tips below can help you assess your risk and identify ways to protect your home and family from a wildfire.

Protect your home:

• Remove vines from house walls

• Remove shrubs and other landscaping away from your house walls

• Remove highly flammable and low-branched trees, such as evergreens, eucalyptus, and juniper

• For remaining trees, remove limbs within 15 feet of the ground

• Clear tree debris such as fallen limbs, leaves, pine needles and cones

• Move stacked wood outside the safety zone

• Pay special attention to clearing debris beneath decks and other overhangs

• Consider removing wooden exterior structures such as decks and patios, or replacing them with more fire-resistant materials

• Install non-combustible roofing and siding materials, such as metal, slate or concrete

• Clear debris from gutters

• Install electrical lines underground, if possible

• Maintain a home inventory and review it with your insurance agent yearly to ensure you are properly insured
