🍁🚗 October is peak foliage season in Maine, which means scenic drives, weekend getaways, and plenty of extra traffic on the road. Before heading out to enjoy the colors, it’s a good time to review your auto insurance and make sure your coverage still fits your needs. 🛞🌲

I’ve been a State Farm Insurance Agent for ten years at my current location, which can be considered Hermon or Bangor—depending on which GPS you’re using. All told, I’ve been an insurance agent for twenty-three years, since taking over the Agency that was previously run by my brother-in-law in Caribou, ME. Now I’m proud to serve the residents of Hermon, Maine and the greater Bangor area, including Hermon, Brewer, Hampden, Levant, Orono, Old Town, Holden, and Glenburn. My office handles auto insurance, renters insurance, homeowners insurance, life insurance, and more—plus financial services.

My agency places the highest importance on customer service. Customers are the lifeblood of our business, and I make it a priority to ensure that everyone understands their coverage and that any issues are addressed as quickly as possible. Building customer confidence is essential, and we provide an outstanding customer experience in everything we do. I have a passion for helping people protect the things that matter most to them, and I pride myself on being available as much as possible to help those who depend on me.

I was born very close to the border between Maine and Canada in the St. John Valley, and I’ve lived in the northeast my entire life. I graduated with a degree in Accounting from Bryant University in Rhode Island, and I earned an MBA at Southern New Hampshire University. After that, I worked in the public and private accounting field working for a number of years before switching to the insurance industry. I taught Accounting at Husson University in Bangor, ME for eight years as well.

I’m glad to be back in the Bangor area now, where my wife, Louise, and I stay very active with our church community. We have three children — all of which have graduated college and are spread throughout the Northeast.

I love helping young families—and I love welcoming people who are relocating to the Bangor area. I can help you find the right home, auto, business or life insurance for you—and I’m happy to discuss financial services as well. Please call or visit us for a free quote.
