I am a true Sarasotian, born and raised in Sarasota, and with 15 years in the insurance industry, I have been able to obtain broad technical skills with expertise in the use of consultative sales processes in Property and Casualty products complemented with Health and Life insurance.

What excites me the most about being the go-to insurance agent of Sarasota and its surrounding areas is the opportunity I have to share my knowledge with others. Not only do I get to share my knowledge with others, at the same time I am able to spend my time helping my affiliate partners and nonprofits grow their business.

I enjoy spending my free time with my family and traveling. My guilty pleasure is food. The weirder the better, as I like to say. When I’m not working, you can find me spending the weekends having cookouts at my house. Everyone comes over to ride their dirt bikes, ATVs, or jet skis on our property.

I believe everyone should leave the world a better place. Therefore, I spend a lot of my time helping non-profits in my area. The four non-profits I am very passionate about are Nate’s Honor Rescue, Selah Freedom, Circus Arts Conservatory, and Easter Seals.

I grew up in Sarasota. I spent most of my time in Myakka. Just like you, I am a regular consumer that is learning how the insurance world works.

What most excites me about my work & the contribution I could make is being able to combine my business JC Truck & Equipment with my wife’s. I have many clients that are unaware of the options they have when it comes to insurance.

I really enjoy our kids and our animals. We have three kids that keep us on our toes. I always say our tortoise is the best kid we have. Patricia the tortoise never talks back.

Something people might not know about me is that I am a hydraulic diesel mechanic that has obtained every certification there is. You could find me spending my weekends with our friends and family when I’m not working. We are always cooking out and riding our toys around our property.

I grew up in central Indiana and later moved to Florida after completing my degree in psychology.

I am dedicated to solving problems and connecting people with the most effective resources.

In my spare time, I like to go to concerts and collect music memorabilia such as CDs and vinyl records!

I’m a proud native of Sarasota, Florida, where the sun always seems to shine a little brighter. My journey took an interesting turn when I moved from the service industry, where I spent 23 years of my life, to the dynamic world of insurance. Joining BL Insurance has been the best decision of my life. It’s here that I found my true calling in making my clients happy and satisfied; they are always my number one priority.

What excites me most about my work is the opportunity to make every client feel important and well-cared for. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of knowing you’ve made a positive difference in someone’s day. And when I’m not busy at work, you’ll find me talking about my family, who are my heart and joy, or cracking jokes and sharing laughter with friends. My life is about spreading happiness, both at work and at home!

Bringing over two years of dedicated service as a Customer Service Representative (CSR) within the insurance industry, and an additional year’s experience as an underwriting assistant for an auto insurance company in the Philippines, my career journey has been both enriching and fulfilling. The thrill of learning new aspects of my role or tackling tasks outside my usual repertoire never ceases to excite me. I am eager to bring my accumulated knowledge, unwavering loyalty, and profound dedication to my work and the agency.

My roots are deeply planted in the Philippines, where I also pursued and completed my bachelor’s degree. Music plays a significant role in my life, serving as a bridge between my son and me. We share a passion for melodies, and I harbor a deep affection for a particular band whose impact on me is so extensive that words here could scarcely do justice.

Chocolate stands as my indulgent weakness, often leading to a humorous cough that customers might recognize— a small price for my excessive consumption, despite the occasional sore throat it brings. Beyond my professional endeavors, my world revolves around my son. Our time together is precious, especially as we often find it’s just the two of us at home.

My commitment to giving back manifests through regular blood donations and providing meals to street children when the opportunity arises, reflecting a deep-seated belief in the importance of community support and kindness.
