What’s your favorite aspect about working at LH&W?
I like making friends. I always have. From the first day of kindergarten, to high school, through college and now with clients I meet through business—I love learning about and connecting with people. Being able to apply that passion to insurance makes work not feel like work and gives me my professional purpose: to protect the people I care about.
Why do you think insurance is so important?
No matter what an individual does for a living, they work very hard to financially support themselves and/or their families. I don’t know anyone personally who wouldn’t be angry or devastated if someone took that all away from them because of an accident that was out of their control. Especially in this litigious society, it is my job to protect their hard work.
What is your favorite thing to learn about an individual, family or business when you’re working with them?
All the exciting secrets I get to learn first and keep confidential—sometimes for many, many months. From a recently purchased engagement ring that hasn’t found its finger to a client’s new business acquisition that hasn’t been publicly announced, I get to be a part of those exciting times when big things are just beginning.
What would you do for a career if you weren’t doing this?
I’d be a sports agent. I’ve always had a bit of an obsession with sports statistics and love the idea of helping to place players in the best situation for them and their family.
What is the most important thing you have learned in the last five years?
That my first instinct is usually right, and I should listen to my gut.
If your house was burning down, what is the one non-living thing you would save?
My son’s highchair (his throne) where he spends most of his time. He loves to eat—I can relate to that passion.

What’s your favorite aspect about working at LH&W?
I love being part of a forward-thinking company that is growing and evolving.
Why do you think clients should choose to work with LH&W?
LH&W provides personalized customer service, and we truly care about our clients. We’re not just in the business of selling insurance. We get to know our clients on a deeper level to find the products that work best for their unique situation.
What is the most important thing you have learned in the last five years?
Don’t take anything for granted. Even if you’re working towards something bigger, be appreciative of where you are and what you have.
What is your hidden talent?
I’m not sure if it’s a hidden talent, but I’m extremely persistent. Sometimes to my own detriment because I will stubbornly dig in and spend too much time trying to figure something out.
What would you do for a career if you weren’t doing this?
I would be a consultant for small businesses that are looking to grow. I love learning about an organization and their goals and then helping figure out what roadblocks or challenges are standing in their way. It’s like a puzzle and I really enjoy the challenge and the feeling you get when the pieces start coming together.
If your house was burning down, what is the one non-living thing you would save?
A box of old family photos that was handed down to me.
