I have been married to my wife, Joanne, since 1989 and together we have two sons, Joseph and Matthew. Prior to joining State Farm, I was a pediatric rehabilitation professional for twenty years during which time I took care of children with disabilities. I was able to combine both my life experiences and true desire to make a difference in the lives of others and convert them into the State Farm world. In December 2009, I opened the doors to my first State Farm Agency in Hampton Bays, NY. Two years later, an agency opportunity presented itself in my neighboring town of Farmingdale and I was selected to open and serve in this great community. I am a proud member of both the Farmingdale Chamber of Commerce and the East Farmingdale Kiwanis Club.
