After years of gaining important knowledge, experience, and versatility from some of the nation’s most respected insurance professionals, I joined Insurance Brokers of MN in 2017 bringing 19 years of insurance experience. I feel truly fortunate to be involved with a family/employee-owned Insurance Agency, whose strengths include strong customer service, continuous education, effective communication, innovative opportunities to improve their client’s insurance programs.

Previously being a part of a national insurance brokerage has given me experience observing many different regions, personalities, and cooperative benchmarking. With this knowledge, it has given me the insight to focus on the cooperative vertical.

We achieve educating cooperatives how to maximize their revenue through risk appetite, employee safety, property evaluations, execution of coverages, safety regulations, and Loss Control. We accomplish this by personally observing, asking proper questions, continuously researching each companies’ coverages to connect their risks, and building trusted relationships.

My family and I reside in Bemidji, MN with my four kids. Madison (21) Tate (18) Talen (11) Vaida (9). We enjoy being involved in the local community. I am the Tournament Director for the Bemidji Bantam AA Hockey Tournament, and other community events. God has given me the ability to enjoy our kids’ while we still have them around, enjoying Northern MN beautiful outdoors, and spending time on our family farms.
