I began my insurance career in 2010 and joined State Farm in 2013. In 2017, I opened my own State Farm agency in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, and in 2020 I transitioned to our current Apollo Location, where my team and I continue serving customers today. Since then, our mission has stayed the same: helping individuals, families, and business owners protect what matters most through personalized insurance guidance and dependable local service.

As a lifelong Western Pennsylvania resident, I graduated from Hempfield Area High School and earned my degree from Washington & Jefferson College in 2010. My wife, Lorena, our son, Benicio, and I proudly call Apollo home. Lorena and Benicio are Brazilian-American Dual Citizens, and our family understands firsthand the challenges that come with relocation, language differences, and building a life in a new community and country.

Outside the office, I enjoy fly fishing, whitewater kayaking, and spending time outdoors with my family. If you stop by, there’s a good chance we’ll end up talking about local fishing spots, Pennsylvania weather, or the top places to explore around Western PA.

Why I Became a State Farm Agent

I became an insurance agent because I wanted a career where I could make a meaningful difference in people's lives. Over the years, I've learned that insurance is about much more than policies —it's about helping people protect the things they've worked hard to build.

Since entering the insurance industry in 2010, I've had the opportunity to help families buy their first homes, welcome new children, start businesses, and recover after unexpected losses. Those experiences have reinforced my belief that the right coverage can make a tremendous difference when life doesn't go right.

I joined State Farm in 2013 because I believed in the company's commitment to helping people manage everyday risks, recover from the unexpected, and realize their dreams. In 2017, I opened my first agency in Greensburg, and in 2020 I relocated the office by taking over the Apollo branch to serve even more individuals, families, and business owners throughout Western Pennsylvania.

What I enjoy most about being an agent is building long-term relationships with customers and helping families buy their first home, welcome new children, protect their loved ones with life insurance, start businesses and recover after an unexpected loss. My goal is never simply to provide a quote. I believe every customer deserves to understand their coverage, know what options are available, and have an insurance team they can rely on as life changes. Whether we're reviewing a policy, identifying available discounts, helping after an accident, or protecting a growing family or business, our focus is on building long-term relationships based on honesty, education, and responsive service.

✅ A team that stays with you- not just when you purchase a policy, but through annual reviews, life changes, and an unexpected loss.

Have a question about insurance? You're not alone. Here are answers to some of the questions we hear most often from individuals, families, and business owners we serve throughout Western Pennsylvania and the surrounding states.

Common FAQs:

How do I get an insurance quote?

✅Getting a quote is simple. Call our office, request a quote online, or stop by our Apollo location. We'll take the time to understand your situation, explain your coverage options, identify available discounts, and help you choose protection that fits your needs and budget.

How often should I review my insurance?

✅We recommend reviewing your insurance at least once a year and anytime you experience a major life event such as buying a home, purchasing a vehicle, getting married, welcoming a child, starting a business, or retiring. Regular reviews help ensure your coverage continues to match your life.

Is the cheapest insurance policy always the top choice?

✅Not necessarily. While price matters, the right policy should also provide the protection you need when something unexpected happens. Our goal is to help you understand your options so you can make an informed decision based on both coverage and value.

How can I save money on my insurance?

✅Many customers qualify for discounts by bundling policies, maintaining a safe driving record, insuring multiple vehicles, or selecting coverage that fits their needs. During every quote and annual review, we review applicable discounts and opportunities to strengthen your protection.

When should I buy life insurance?

✅For most people, sooner is better. Life insurance is generally more manageable when you're younger and healthier. Whether you're buying your first home, starting a family, growing your savings, or preparing for the future, life insurance can help protect the people who depend on you.

What insurance products does your office offer?

✅Our agency provides Auto Insurance, Homeowners Insurance, Renters Insurance, Condo Insurance, Farm Insurance, Life Insurance, Small Business Insurance, Commercial Auto, Workers' Compensation, General Liability, Motorcycle, RV, Boat, ATV, Personal Liability Umbrella, and more for customers throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, West Virginia, and New York.

Why should I work with a local insurance agent?

✅A local agent provides personalized guidance before, during, and after a claim. We take time to explain your coverage, answer questions, review your policies as your life changes, and help you make informed decisions—not just when you purchase insurance, but for years afterward.
