Looking forward to 2026. This is your year!

I have been a State Farm agent for the last eight years and opened our office back in 2012. I’m proud to serve the residents of Clarendon County and the city of Manning in particular. We also service surrounding areas such as Sumter, Kingstree, and Orange burg. My office covers auto insurance, homeowners' insurance, renters' insurance, life insurance and more, including financial services.

I’m an avid chess player and I am a 40-year lifetime member of my fraternity Kappa Alpha Psi Incorporated. I try to bring energy, optimism, and sincere commitment to everything I do, including my work as a State Farm agent. I see life through a unique lens now, and I understand the value of a positive outlook. I also gained a personal understanding of just how important it is to get the coverage you need and protect the things that matter most to you. My experiences make me who I am, and I sincerely believe that they have made me better at what I excel in—which is helping people.

I’m originally from the Bronx, NY. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the State University of New York at Albany. I worked in financial services and the oil industry. Now I live in the Manning, SC with my wife Valerie. We have three children and three granddaughters. We are truly blessed. In my spare time—and when circumstances allow—I like to get out in the community, try different restaurants and spend time with my friends and family. Lately I have been doing a lot of zoom meetings and social distancing during the pandemic. Keep the faith and together we will get through this time.

I am very involved in related groups like the rotary, chamber of commerce, church and my fraternity. Education is the key to success. Do yourself a favor and take an hour with me and learn what's important to you. Find out where you are and see if there are any gaps in your insurances. If you feel you need to take action in your life. I would love to help you.
