With over 40 years of experience in the Auto Collision Repair and Property Insurance industries, I’ve had the unique opportunity to build multiple careers, each rooted in hard work, learning, and a deep passion for all things automotive. My journey began as a painter’s helper, working my way up through the roles of body technician, estimator, and shop manager, before eventually becoming the proud owner of my own collision repair shop. This hands-on experience gave me invaluable insights into the repair process, customer service, and running a successful business.
In parallel with my collision repair career, I ventured into the insurance world, starting as a resident auto and property adjuster. Over the years, I progressed through leadership roles, serving as a team leader, claims office leader, multi-regional leader, and eventually, the Countrywide Director of Property Claims for Allstate Insurance Company. These roles allowed me to gain expertise across multiple aspects of claims, from managing teams to leading innovations that helped shape the future of claims handling.
In 2020, after retiring from my 31-year career at Allstate, I channeled my experience and passion into founding my own consulting company. This new venture allows me to continue working in the industries I love, leveraging my diverse background to help businesses improve processes, innovate, and succeed.
Throughout my career, my passion for learning, my dedication to my family, and my love for the automotive world have remained at the core of everything I do. From repairing damaged vehicles and homes to leading large-scale insurance operations, I’ve had the privilege of working in multiple locations across the U.S., shaping a career that continues to fuel my drive for excellence.
