As your State Farm Insurance agent, I know how important it is to feel confident about the person helping protect what matters most to you. That’s why I like to share a bit about who I am and why I do what I do.

I’m a 2nd generation State Farm agent who began my career in St. Michael, MN in 1990, and I’ve been proudly serving as a State Farm agent here in Buffalo, MN since 1992. I’m a lifelong resident of Buffalo, and community has always played a big role in my life. I’m a graduate of Concordia College in St. Paul, MN, and a proud supporter of the Buffalo-Hanover-Montrose School District — Go Bison!

Our office is located at 124 Lake Boulevard S in downtown Buffalo, MN, overlooking scenic Buffalo Lake and sharing a building with Olson Chiropractic (no relation). Whether you prefer stopping in, calling, emailing, or texting, my team and I are here to help. We assist customers throughout Buffalo and across the state of Minnesota with Auto, Home, Business/Commercial, Renters Insurance, and Life and Health Insurance, helping you stay protected at every stage of life.

State Farm is the largest provider of Auto Insurance and Home Insurance in the United States, and our office focuses on serving customers in Buffalo as well as Hanover, Montrose, Waverly, Rockford, Maple Lake, and surrounding areas. We regularly help with out-of-state transfers to Minnesota, and I’m always happy to talk through all of your options.

Staying involved locally matters to me. I’m an active member of the Buffalo Rotary and the Buffalo Area Chamber of Commerce, and I proudly support many Buffalo-Hanover-Montrose Area School activities throughout the year.

My team and I enjoy taking the time to talk things through and answer questions, so when you’re ready to discuss your insurance needs, I invite you to give us a call and start the conversation!
