I have been in the insurance industry for over 27 years.   I began my career as an agent with American Family Insurance where I operated an agency for 16 years.   In 2012 I joined Leone Knipp Insurance Group until February of 2020 when I formed my own agency I360 Insurance, LLC.  In October of 2022 I opened a second location of I360 Insurance at the Lake of the Ozarks.  I specialize in personal and property insurance as well as Medicare coverage and business insurance. I look forward to offering these services for many years to come. Personally I enjoy spending time with my family.   I've been married to my wife Amy for 33 years.  We have two grown children that we are very proud of.  Our daughter Kramer and her husband Josh live in the area, and we were recently blessed with a second granddaughter. Our son Jack recently returned to the area after 8 years in the Navy and continues to serve in the Naval reserves. Outside spending time with my family I've been involved in several community organizations.   I am a past Director of the Board of Education for the Independence School District, a past Board Chair for the Independence Chamber of Commerce, and served on the Santa Cali Gon festival committee for 20 years.   I'm a member of the Rotary Club of Eastern Independence and and held the position of President in 2019-2020.  I'm also a member of Scout Troop 865 and currently hold the position of Eagle Scout Coordinator for the Troop  I enjoy community service and working to make Independence a great place to live and work.

I am new to the insurance industry, but it has been a joy to be able to work with Eric daily after all this time. I have enjoyed a wide-ranging career path, that has focused on small business, non-profit, and community organizations. I feel blessed to have worked close to home for most of my career which enabled me to spend ample time with our children and now grandchildren. Eric and I enjoy helping clients with all their insurance needs as they traverse the many stages of life - from first cars, pets and homes, to Medicare and rocking chairs and all of the life lived in between. It is an honor to provide personal guidance and one-on-one assistance, to those who entrust us with their business.
