We work with many small business owners for their business insurance needs, and truly understand the importance of it, as I am a small business owner as well. We also take the time to talk to everyone about the importance of Life Insurance, and the different types, to protect those that we value most!

We have been in Connecticut for over 30 years, and we look forward to working with & serving you!

A couple of reminders:

  • It’s Life Insurance Awareness Month! It’s important to learn the options you have for you and your family. 🔎 Whether you have coverage through work or you purchased life insurance a long time ago, we recommend reviewing your policies and beneficiaries to be sure your policies are covering you for the present and future, not the past. 📄 When it comes to life insurance, we’ve got you – and the answers to your questions. Call or text us today! 📱

  • As the leaves change colors and the temperature drops, it's time to protect what matters most in this Fall season. Whether you're a homeowner, renter, or business owner, our team here to help you find the coverage you need to stay secure. 🏠🍂

  • Check out our Google Reviews! 👏 They highlight the exceptional service and support we provide our customers. From prompt responses to going above and beyond, you’ll find numerous examples of how we prioritize customer satisfaction! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • Make sure you have access to the State Farm Mobile App. Download the app by texting MOBILE to 78836. 📱

  • #Dadjokeofthemonth: Why did the insurance policy love autumn?

Because it knew it could always fall back on coverage! 🍂🍁😆
