I have had my property/casualty license since 2006 and have since acquired my life/health license. I grew up on a farm south of Casey, IL near Hazel Dell, and attended Casey-Westfield High School. I then went on to attend Lakeland College and the University of Illinois and earned a degree in Agribusiness, Farm, and Financial Management. In 1999 I started my banking career as an agricultural lender, and added the sales of crop insurance in 2006. In 2015 I joined Shore-Murphy & Associates to focus strictly on insurance which I truly enjoy.
