April Fool’s Day is right around the corner and protecting your biggest assets is nothing to joke about! Our office is ready to help you protect your auto, home, business, and life. Call, text, or email our office to make sure you have the protection you and your family need! Contact us today!

I am a graduate of St. John's University where I received a degree in business and Mathematics. I just finished attending the American College of Financial Services in June of 2023. I was awarded the ChFC designation on 8/1/2022 by the American College and my CLU designation on 6/1/2023. Both the ChFC and CLU designation are to better serve my insureds around financial and life insurance needs.

I first became insurance licensed in 2009 where I developed a passion for protecting people from financial burdens. Like paying a total loss check so you can go buy a new car, trailer, or even things like a fish house or UTV. Decreasing your debt payments so you can buy your fiancé the ring of her dreams. Rebuilding your detached garage because it started on fire in the middle of the night. To paying a life claim so families can properly morn their love ones without financial worry. We will build a confident future for you at our office.

I married my wife Susan on my birthday - October 30th. I have no excuses to forget my anniversary now! We have three beautiful children that test our patience on a daily basis. They keep us extremely busy with all of their activities golf, coach pitch, gymnastics, fast-pitch, volleyball and hockey. Susan works as a Registered Nurse in wound care at Mercy Hospital in Mason City.

My passions include family, golfing, fishing, camping, hunting, traveling and taking care of my insureds! I am an Albert Lea Chamber member. I also volunteer my time as the President of St Theo's School Board.

I have a second family here at the office - Amy Rehnelt, Jami Johnston & Kajsa Stadheim. We take great pride in protecting our customers from financial loss. State Farm Claims adjuster Reed Jr stated, "You're going to make it through it. You're going harder than any agent I've ever worked with... including hurricane claims.. you're definitely different when it comes to helping out on a claim... Much Respect"

If you don't get one of us on the phone right away, please leave a message. We will return your phone call as soon as one of us frees up from helping others. I also respond to email's immediately, so if you prefer, shoot me an email. You can also text the office phone number.

We service the greater Albert Lea Area and Northern Iowa. If you are relocating to Albert Lea, Clarks Grove, Hollandale, Alden, Ellendale, Hayward, Glenville, Geneva, or in Freeborn County - give us a call. I provide some pretty unique benefits such as the use of a 6x12 enclosed trailer to help you move and host an annual customer appreciation day in July!

Whether you are a first time home buyer, buying your first house or buying your first car we want to make sure you have the coverage in place to protect you and your loved ones - Contact us!
