After graduating from Ball State University he joined a $350 million bank located in central Indiana where he served as a Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. When the bank was sold he left and joined a large commercial insurance agency. He specialized in commercial property & casualty risks, which included multi-state exposures, specialty risks, retrospective programs as well as many standard programs.

His desire to spend more of his time with clients led him to Agency Associates, Inc. Agency Associates, Inc. was acquired by Brown & Brown in late 2008 which lead him to his current position.
