• May Is Here. A month to appreciate nature's wonders, interact with small businesses, honor mothers and military personnel, both past and present. This is also a great time to serious review our Life Insurance policies and plans. The weather starts to get warmer. The flowers bloom and the grass turn green. I will return to the yard to reconnect to the earth by planting a flower or two and then dust off the golf clubs and head to the course. I also find that this is a great time of the year to just pause and reflect. It is a great time to celebrate both the trials and the triumphs of the past year including the joy and pleasure derived from knowing and doing what it takes to provide that Good Neighbor Service. Although State Farm as a company continues to make significant operational changes to align with the demands created by technological advancements, our office will continue to keep that Good Neighbor feel and presence through our local agent's office concept. I still enjoy my daily interactions with policyholders. either in the office or on the phone. Insuring that new car for some and/or that first car for others, still creates a feeling of excitement and accomplishment. This is also the season where people are on the move, and we will be there to insure that new house or apartment or provide life or health insurance to protect the ones that are responsible for making it all happen.

I am a graduate of Morgan State University, a former officer (captain) in the U S Army and worked in the retail industry (Sears), prior to opening my independent State Farm Insurance agency. My leisure time is consumed mostly by golf, participating and volunteering in fraternal, church, civic and community activities. I also enjoy collecting and sampling fine wines.

I have been serving the communities of Memphis, Bartlett, Lakeland, Germantown, and the surrounding areas for Auto, Homeowners/Renters, Life, Health and Business insurance since 1983. In addition to Tennessee, I am licensed in and service the neighboring communities in Arkansas, Mississippi. I have been recognized and received many industry awards and citations during my time my as an independent State Farm Insurance agent.
