As winter fades and spring arrives in Morris County - bringing longer days, blooming flowers, and plenty of community events. I’m honored to help individuals and families move into the season with reliable Life, Auto, and Home Insurance. 🚗🏡🌤️
With Daylight Saving Time bringing extra evening sunlight and St. Patrick’s Day celebrations kicking off the season ☘️, it’s a great opportunity to review your coverage and make sure you’re ready for spring travel, home projects, and everything that comes with warmer weather.
Since 2006, our mission has been to support the residents of Morris County with personalized coverage options designed to protect what matters most. Whether you're attending Butler’s spring events, exploring local parks and trails, taking a weekend getaway, or updating your home after winter, my team and I are here to help every step of the way.
I hold ChFC, LUTCF, and CASL designations, along with a BS in Economics from Rowan University, and I am proud to be an active member of the Tri-County Chamber of Commerce. 🎓 With insurance experience dating back to 1993, I remain committed to growing my knowledge so I can continue serving our community with care and integrity.
Outside the office, spring is one of my favorite times of year. You’ll often find me out on the golf course as the season begins ⛳, enjoying local sporting events, or spending more time outdoors as the weather warms up. I also enjoy supporting community gatherings throughout Morris County, especially the traditions that bring families and small businesses together this time of year.
Originally from Wanaque and now living in Manasquan, I remain closely connected to the communities I serve. Supporting local organizations, businesses, and the families who make Morris County special continues to be one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.
As we welcome spring and all the fresh starts it brings, I’m here to help you and your loved ones feel protected, prepared, and confident for the months ahead. 🌼✨

1. Why review insurance coverage in the spring?
Spring often brings home updates, new vehicles, travel, and outdoor purchases. Reviewing your policies ensures your coverage reflects any recent changes.
2. Does homeowners insurance cover spring storm damage?
Most homeowners policies help cover damage caused by wind, hail, and certain storm-related events. Flood damage typically requires separate flood insurance. It’s important to understand what your policy includes before storm season picks up.
3. Am I covered if a tree falls on my house after a storm?
In many situations, yes—if the tree falls due to a covered event such as wind or lightning. Coverage details vary, so we’re happy to go over your policy with you.
4. What should I consider before starting a home renovation?
Upgrades like kitchens, additions, finished basements, decks, or pools may increase your home’s value and rebuilding cost. Let us know about improvements so your policy reflects those updates.
5. Does auto insurance cover spring road trips?
Your auto policy generally follows you anywhere you drive within the United States. It’s also a good time to review liability limits and optional roadside coverage before spending more time on the road.

Items like golf clubs, e-bikes, landscaping equipment, patio furniture, or jewelry may have coverage limits. Additional coverage options are available for higher-value belongings.

Spring often brings milestones such as marriage, a new home, or a growing family. Life insurance helps provide financial protection for the people who rely on you.
