Hello and welcome!

Making a difference in the lives of the people we serve, as well as our community, has always been a priority. Our agency offers various insurance services, including auto, life and health, home, renters and business insurance.

Here's a little bit about myself:

My background is very diverse. I played basketball for Portage HS and received All Conference for the Porter County Conference. I then used my scholarship to go to Alderson-Broaddus University in West Virginia to obtain a BS Degree in Business. While at Alderson-Broaduss University, I found my beautiful wife, who was head cheerleader.

I then went to Indiana University and Purdue's night school program to obtain a teaching license. I loved teaching 5th grade for 7 years. During the summer months, I built duplexes. When my wife became pregnant we discovered my teaching salary was not going to be enough. I was recruited by a State Farm recruiter.

My first agency was in Portage for 3 years. Then I was recruited to be a manager for State Farm. After managing 16 agents for 21 years, I then took over two agencies and moved to La Porte. I have been in La Porte for over 40 years serving our wonderful community. By getting to know each individual family, I am able to create a perfectly bundled package to protect their family, assets and future income.

By serving my community I was honored with the Bronze Tablet, Silver Scroll, and the Crystal of Excellence. I also was recognized and received the National Sales Achievement Award.

I am on the La Porte Chamber of Commerce Education Committee and a member of Rotary serving the community of La Porte, and a member of La Porte Liberty Bible Church.

March is the month you might head out on spring break; a lot of folks will be on the road and it is the perfect time to make sure you have the right insurance coverage to protect your auto, paycheck and family. Does insurance seem complicated to you? We enjoy helping our customers by educating and answering all of your

I have lived in La Porte County my entire life. I started to work for Marv in 2006, taking a hiatus in 2013 to take care my young children at home. As of August 2019, I am back part-time. My hobbies include keeping saltwater reef aquariums, coaching soccer and I am a true crime junkie! I am currently licensed in #Autoinsurance, #Homeinsurance, #Rentersinsurance , #Businessinsurance, #Lifeinsurance and #Healthinsurance. I enjoy helping people understand their policies and find ways to save them money. In addition, I love showing my friends how they can properly protect their loved ones through the use of life insurance.

Hi. My name is Kat. A little about myself, I was born and raised in Indianapolis and moved to La Porte 5 years ago with my family. I started to work for Marv in 2021. I am a family oriented person, with 5 kids and 2 grands that keep me busy. I love to read in my spare time. Learning a new career path has been a blessing that I didn't know I needed at the time. I am grateful to be able to help people in my community protect what is most important to them. #Community #LifeInsurance #HomeownersInsurance #AutoInsurance #Insurance #FamilyPlanning
