Day to Day

There are no two days that look alike in this business. Of course, there's the day-to-day operations of any business. But, what I enjoy most is helping people solve problems, feel good about the decisions they have made concerning their insurance needs and the challenge of putting together projects for unusual insurance situations.

Advice for Getting Started

Here's the first step for high school students

Start by talking to their local agent. Ask them how they started. See how they can help you. I would guess that all agencies know who to contact to help you get started. Who knows...the person you are talking to may just be your next boss.

Recommended Education

My career is not related to what I studied. I'd recommend this path instead:

Hurdles

The Noise I Shed

From Myself:

"Sure, I faced my own insecurities and anxieties, as I knew nothing more about insurance than what most consumers do. I had never been involved in my family's business. I was educated to be a school teacher."
