How did you get into the insurance industry ? At Easter dinner in 2010 I asked Loretta Wilson , my wife ’ s grandmother , how she got into crop insurance . She convinced me to take the test that May and I became an agent under her small crop agency . I spent a couple years working for Heritage Bank in Wood River , NE , and then moved back home to work with Loretta again in 2013 .
What do advantages do young agents offer ? I believe that young agents catch on to new technology very quickly , they see new popular trends / risks , and they are socializing with the next generation of insureds . A young agent is definitely going to add life to any good agency .
Who / what have been your greatest resources in this industry and why ? Mark Lowry has been a huge resource for me with property & casualty insurance . He has a tremendous amount of knowledge and resources in insurance that I was not exposed to previously . Working with his team of agents has been a benefit to growing my book of business .
What is your greatest reward as an independent insurance agent ? Providing for my family and helping to protect people in my area from disasters . It is also very rewarding to deliver that claim check when my customer is in need .
What advice would you share with the leaders of this industry ? Reach out to the next generation , tell them about what you do , and let them know that there is opportunity in insurance for them as well .

What are your future plans ? I plan to always live in north central Kansas , where I grew up and continue to grow our insurance business . I currently help manage three different locations and hope to continue to see them grow and succeed .
