I have been a State Farm Insurance agent since 2003.  I am fortunate to be the NC agent for home insurance, renter's insurance, auto insurance and business insurance. We care about our customers. It is wonderfully fortunate to be a small business owner and play a role in providing financial protection and options for people in Winston Salem, NC.  I am dedicated to being up-to-date on NC insurance regulations and changes in economic trends.   Our community work is with Habitat for Humanity, ABC of NC , as well as, CVAN of Concord, NC.  I attended the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, the University of VA and A.L. Brown High School in Kannapolis NC.  I am a former broadcaster for WPEG in Charlotte and WFXY and WRAL in Raleigh NC. I like to enjoy myself and find humor in life’s situations.  I believe in doing what I can then turning things over to my faith in God.  My favorite movies include “It’s Complicated”, “Madea’s Family Reunion” and “Hidden Figures”.  My favorite music artists are Boney James, Fred Hammond, Whitney Houston and Missy Elliott.  If you haven’t already done so, find christian motivational speaker Chris Ingram/Living on the Edge online, he is awesome. I am a fan of starting the day early with a plan and giving people the space to be themselves. It works!
