Growing up I was either on a ball field, basketball court, or sitting in a tree stand. By the time high school was over I had offers to play division 1 baseball, division 1 football, or division 2 basketball. I had several offers to play two sports. Life however had different plans for me. I was drafted by the Atlanta Braves after my sophomore year of college, at the same time my wife was expecting our second child. I knew that came with great responsibility. Traveling the country playing baseball or raising a family. To me it was a no-brainer, raise a family. I put my head down and went to work for the next 20 years. I'm proud to say I'm still married to my high school sweetheart, Dena. Ashleigh is now a junior in college and my son Brandon is doing well living in Milford. I now work with Paul Hall and associate's as property caretaker given me the chance to travel, watching my daughter play college soccer.

After attending the University of Kentucky and serving as State 4-H President as a sophomore, everyone thought I would work in Kentucky Agriculture. The Ohio Farm Bureau made me a great offer to join them in Ohio and so I jumped the river. After ten great years in which I helped start Ohio's first Ethanol plant in SouthPoint, worked on the election committee to fix the Workers Comp issue and helped my counties grow by thousands of members, I joined Farm Bureau's daughter, Nationwide Insurance. Since 1988, I have been an agent working to serve rural Ohio and Kentucky. I have worked to build an agency of staff that is committed to serving and giving back. My dad taught me that " If you are going to talk the talk make sure you walk the walk." My commitment to you is that we will build the right program for you and then be there to serve you.


On the personal side, I married Jill, my sweetheart, in 1980 and we have three daughters. Caroline has her own agency in Harrison, Ohio, Anna returned home in 2012 to run our Georgetown office and serve as our communications specialist, and Rebecca is an Optometrist in Lexington. I am also now a grandpa to four granddaughters, Lacey, Emily, Elaina, and Audrey and a grandson, Levi. I have served on Southern State College Board(Chair), Kentucky 4-H Foundation(Chair), Brown County Republican Party(Chair) Georgetown Church of Christ Board(Deacon), Brown County Board of Elections, Brown County Criminal Task Force(Chair) and Hospice of Hope Board.
