Proudly from the San Fernando Valley
As a native to Los Angeles, I was born and raised in the heart of the San Fernando Valley. I'm a proud graduate of North Hollywood High School, and spent most of my youth living around many different neighborhoods of this unique part of town. The San Fernando Valley has always been home to me, and it's a community I know and care about personally and deeply.
Having strong family and social ties in and around Sherman Oaks, Lake Balboa, and Van Nuys, my connection to the Valley goes well beyond simply doing business here. These are the neighborhoods where I grew up, where my family lives, and where I've shared wonderful memories and moments. It's a special community.
That local connection is one of the reasons I enjoy helping people within the community navigate the numerous Medicare options. Choosing the right coverage can feel overwhelming, and I believe having someone you can talk to who understands the local community makes the process a little easier.
Whether you're just turning 65, reviewing your current Medicare coverage, or simply have questions about your options, I'm here to provide straightforward, personal guidance.
Life outside of Medicare
When I'm not helping people navigate Medicare, you'll usually find me outdoors. I've always had a strong connection to the outdoors, and being from the San Fernando Valley there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the natural beauty of Southern California.
When I have time I enjoy it with friends fishing at Lake Castaic, enjoying time on the water and taking a break from the day-to-day. I also love hiking throughout the Santa Monica Mountains and Angeles National Forest, exploring new trails, and spending time in the mountains.
Being outdoors has always been a reminder of how important it is to slow down, stay active, and appreciate the place we call home. As a Medicare insurance agent serving the San Fernando Valley and surrounding Southern California communities, I'm proud to live, work, and build relationships in the same community I call home. I also am reminded of how important staying healthy is and appreciating each day as if it is a blessing.
Giving back to the outdoors
Spending time outdoors has also given me a deeper appreciation for conservation and the responsibility we have to protect the places we enjoy.
As an outdoorsman and sportsman, I believe in giving back to the natural areas and communities that have given me so many great experiences. I support the idea of contributing to organizations and efforts that help protect national parks, local wildlife, public lands, habitat, and conservation programs.
Whether it's supporting wildlife organizations, helping preserve public lands, or contributing to conservation efforts, I believe being part of the outdoor community means doing more than simply enjoying it.
For me, being a part of the San Fernando Valley and Southern California community means staying connected—not only to the people around me, but also to the mountains, lakes, trails, wildlife, and public lands that make this region such a special place to call home.
To make Medicare feel simple, safe, and personal for every client we serve.
