Born and raised in Aberdeen, WA. Graduated from Weatherwax High School as well as Grays Harbor College. I left the area and obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management. Married to Jennifer, whom I met in 1998 on my first day working at State Farm. She worked in claims for 10 years before leaving to become a full-time, at-home Mom. We have two wonderful daughters who keep us busy with their extracurricular activities. As a family, we like to travel, hike, play board games and cook together.

How I got here:

The journey to become your State Farm Agent began in February 1998 as an adjuster for State Farm. I interacted with policyholders as well as other State Farm Agents in Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Hawaii and Idaho. Those interactions gave me insight into specific policy language, agency, claims, operations and the customer service side of State Farm. In January 2008, our office at 617 Oak St. in Aberdeen opened for service and we have never wavered in our desire and commitment to represent State Farm Insurance while helping YOU find the policies that fit YOUR needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What's an effective way to get car insurance quotes?

A: Getting car insurance quotes is simple—you can start online, over the phone, or by working with a local agent. Quotes are typically based on factors like your vehicle, driving history, and coverage preferences, helping you explore options that fit your needs. Mark, your local State Farm agent in Aberdeen, WA, is here to help.

Q: How quickly can car insurance coverage start?

A: In some cases, car insurance coverage can begin the same day you purchase a policy. The timing may vary depending on your situation. We can help you get coverage quickly when you need it. Connect with Mark for insurance guidance in Aberdeen.

Q: What coverage is required when leasing a car?

A: If you're leasing a vehicle, the requirements are usually a bit higher than standard coverage. In most cases, you'll need liability, comprehensive, and collision coverage, and the leasing company may need to be listed on your policy. We're always happy to walk you through exactly what's needed. In Aberdeen, you can count on Mark for personalized service.

Q: What is renters insurance?

A: Renters insurance is a simple way to help protect your personal belongings and provide liability coverage while you're renting. Since your landlord's policy typically covers the building itself, this type of coverage is designed to help protect you and the things you own. Mark is here to help your Aberdeen household feel covered.

Q: How does life insurance work?

A: Life insurance provides a payout to your chosen beneficiaries if you pass away while the policy is active. As long as coverage remains active, it can help give your loved ones financial support when they may need it most. Looking for coverage? Talk with Mark about your options in Aberdeen.

Q: What's typically covered by a homeowners insurance policy?

A: Homeowners insurance can help protect your home, your belongings, and your financial well-being. It may cover the structure of your home, your personal property, and provide liability protection, along with help for additional living expenses in certain situations. Mark is proud to serve the Aberdeen community.
