We take pride in getting to know the people we serve, understanding their needs, and providing thoughtful guidance so they can make informed decisions about their insurance.

We believe working with your insurance agency should be convenient and fit your lifestyle.

We believe personal service and modern convenience should go hand in hand.

Helping Protect Minnesota Farms and Local Businesses

Farming and small businesses are essential to the communities we serve. We're proud to help the farmers, entrepreneurs, contractors, and business owners whose hard work contributes so much to our local economy.

From family farms and agricultural operations to locally owned businesses, we understand that every operation has unique responsibilities and risks.

Our agency offers State Farm Farm & Ranch Insurance, Business Insurance, Commercial Auto Insurance, and other available coverage options. We take the time to learn about your operation, understand your concerns, and help you explore insurance coverage that fits your needs.

Committed to the Communities We Call Home

Our office proudly serves Cokato, Dassel, Darwin, Howard Lake, Winsted, Waverly, and surrounding communities throughout Wright and Meeker Counties.

Being part of these communities means much more to us than simply doing business here.

We believe strong communities are built when people support one another. When we choose to shop locally, support area businesses, volunteer, and give our time and resources to organizations close to home, we help create opportunities for our neighbors and strengthen the places where we live and work.

Our team members live, shop, volunteer, and raise their families in our surrounding communities. We're proud to support local schools, organizations, and community activities, and we believe that keeping business local whenever possible helps our communities continue to thrive.

I'm also actively involved with our local Rotary Club, where the guiding principle of Service Above Self reflects something I believe deeply: strong communities are built when people are willing to share their time, talents, and resources to help others.

That commitment to service and community is part of who we are, both personally and professionally.

A Little About Me

Outside the office, family and community are at the heart of my life. My wife and I have two sons who are passionate about music and sports. We enjoy hiking, skiing, volunteering, and spending time together.

Giving back has always been important to me. I enjoy being involved with organizations and activities that bring people together, encourage service, and help strengthen our communities.
