We love helping the people of Connecticut, whether they are lifelong residents or brand new to our beautiful state!

Our office is located in Plantsville, part of the Southington Community, and we assist people with all of their insurance needs. Whether you own a home or a condo, rent a house or an apartment or have one or multiple cars, we're here to protect you! In addition, don't forget to ask us about all of the available discounts that you are eligible for!!

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:

  • Having the right insurance coverage can help you enjoy a worry-free Halloween! Liability coverage can protect you if any unexpected mishaps occur on your property, like an overenthusiastic ghost or zombie tripping over your decorations! 🍫🧟‍♂️👻🎃

  • While celebrating National Pumpkin Day on October 26th, remember that insurance can provide an extra layer of protection for all things pumpkin-related. Enjoy the festivities, have fun, and stay covered! 🎃📝🍂

  • #Dadjokeofthemonth: Why did the scarecrow take out an insurance policy?

Because he wanted to protect his “crop-erty” in case of pumpkin thieves! 🤣🎃🍁🍂
