Where I’m From

I was born and raised in Cherry Valley. Apart from a few years at college in Arizona, this is the only place I've called home. When I started Catalyst Financial Group, I wanted to build it here, for the people and communities I grew up around.

Why I Started Catalyst

My own life experiences showed me how much the right life and health coverage matters, and how confusing it can be to sort out on your own. Most people don't need a sales pitch. They need someone to explain their options in plain English. That's why I became an independent broker — so I could compare several highly rated carriers for YOU, not push whatever product is easiest to sell.

What I Believe

Life and health insurance don't have to be complicated. It's simply about making sure you and the people you love are taken care of if something happens. That's it. My job is to help you figure out what that looks like for YOUR family, in a way that fits YOUR budget. No scripts. No pressure. Just a conversation.
