HOW I WORK

Independence

I work for you. Not for a carrier. Access to 17 A-rated companies means I compare the market instead of pretending one option fits everybody.

Pricing

Price matters most after we determine what coverage you actually need. It might be what you've already got, it might not. Once that is clear, we shop the market and find your best price.

Coverage

Cheap insurance is easy to find. Useful insurance takes more work. I take a needs-based approach and explain the risks and tradeoffs as we go.

Carrier Access

17 A-rated carriers. Seven A+. One place to shop home, auto, business, and life insurance without running all over town.

Local Expertise

I'm with Preferred Insurance Services in Arden Hills. We've been here for 33 years and know Minnesota insurance cold.

Specialties

I work with individuals, families, construction and trades, and restaurant owners. I also build AI systems to improve workflows and compare coverage. As a CISSP, I can explain cyber risk without the jargon.

QUESTIONS PEOPLE USUALLY ASK

When is switching actually worth doing?

When the savings are real after matching coverage. If the cheaper quote only got there by thinning deductibles, endorsements, or limits, that is not savings. That is just a different problem.

Do you place coverage, or just compare it?

Both. I can place the policy. I just do not think you should have to move before you understand what changed, what did not, and why the price moved in the first place.

How fast will you get back to me?

Usually within 24 hours. If a renewal deadline is close, tell me the date. That helps me treat it like a real deadline instead of a decorative one.
