I started working in insurance when I was 23 years old and opened my first Allstate agency in 1999. I've been a member of the Simi Valley community since then and am proud to serve as a trusted Allstate agent for local families. One thing I love about Simi Valley is the pride residents take in staying involved in the community, something I strive to encourage at my agency, as well. My staff and I are proud to support local groups such as the California Waves, a girls fastpitch 18U Gold softball team that helps girls get college softball scholarships. We've also established the Patty Ives Foundation, where we hold annual supply drives to help the homeless population of Simi Valley. Outside of giving back to the community, I'm also an active member of the Simi Valley Chamber of Commerce. In my spare time, you'll find me playing basketball, softball or coaching the California Waves. I'm blessed to have my amazing wife, Sue, who works in our office, and our two daughters, Jennifer and Kellie. Outside of the office, you'll find us spending time together along with our two border collies, Patches and Panda. I became an Allstate representative because I wanted to help local families protect what matters most to them. Whether you're a small-business owner looking to protect your livelihood, or a first-time renter in need of renters insurance, my staff and I can help. Stop by our office to say hello and find out how we can assist you.
