I have been around the insurance business a very long time. My father was a successful insurance agent and major influence on my career choice. From a very young age, I would listen to him talk to customers on the phone helping them with their insurance needs. I would even take messages for him while he was away from his desk. So, it was no surprise that, after I graduated Gettysburg College in 1987 with a Business Management Degree, I decided to become an insurance agent just like my father. After gaining experience and learning all aspects of the insurance business , I opened my own insurance agency in Norwood, N.J. My team and I honorably served the needs of our community for over twenty years. After selling my agency in 2020, I decided to look for new opportunities. I chose to become a State Farm Agent because I know that State Farm always puts their customers first and offers an array of insurance products that will protect them from the unexpected. It is a great honor for me to represent State Farm. Please call us today for all your insurance needs.

I am married to Mary Purcell for over twenty-seven years. We have a son, Justin, and a daughter, Melissa. I am also a lifelong martial artist with black belts in Judo and Brazilian Jiu Jujitsu. I still teach and train regularly at Renzo Gracie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy. I also enjoy fishing, swimming in the ocean, and spending time with my family. #auto insurance #car insurance #home insurance #condo insurance #umbrella insurance #life insurance #disability insurance #pet insurance #motorcycle insurance #boat insurance #commercial insurance # #commercial truck insurance #business owner policy
