Agency Manager at Comparion Insurance Agency, a Liberty Mutual Company: Specializing in Auto, Home, Life, Pet, Motorcycle, Boat, Umbrella, and RV Insurance
I’m currently an Agency Manager at Comparion Insurance Agency, a part of the Liberty Mutual family. With 18 years of experience in the insurance industry, I specialize in providing comprehensive solutions that cover everything from auto and home to life, pet, motorcycle, and RV insurance. I’m a firm believer in servant leadership, and my goal is to empower my team and help them thrive both personally and professionally. I’m currently expanding my skills through the Wharton Executive Education program, with plans to graduate in 2026. I also hold a Master’s in Integrated Marketing Communication from St. Bonaventure University and have studied Internal Marketing at Trinity College, Oxford University. Life insurance is a particular passion of mine. I see it as an essential product that offers families peace of mind during challenging times, providing financial support to help them navigate loss without the added burden of financial strain. It’s all about ensuring that loved ones can find stability when they need it most. I live in Hamburg, NY, with my wife Justine and our three children—Ophelia, Julian, and Whitney. I value family time and love being active in our community. I’d love to connect and explore opportunities for collaboration that can make a meaningful impact in the insurance landscape!
