My career with State Farm was launched when my family and I moved from the Bay area to Susanville. What a great location to raise a family and enjoy the outdoors. I quickly immersed myself in the local community by joining Rotary and serving as President twice. In addition, I'm involved in the local Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Realtors. Over the years I've earned additional insurance designations - CLU and ChFC to assist policyholders with more complex life insurance needs.

Outside the office my passions are golf, fly fishing and traveling.

Simple winter driving tips:

Road conditions can become very hazardous during winter weather. The roads might become wet, snowy, slushy or icy and poor visibility can result when it’s foggy. Of all weather-related crashes, 24% occur on slushy, icy or snowy roads. Winter driving can have its own set of challenges from the moment you start your vehicle. Here are some useful winter driving suggestions:

• Clear frost, snow and ice thoroughly from all windows and exterior mirrors of your car. Brush snow away to help prevent it from blowing into your line of sight while driving.

• Never warm up your vehicle in a closed garage. This could lead to carbon monoxide problems.

• Consider keeping your gas tank at least half full to help prevent gas line freeze-up. It’s also a good idea to keep your tank full in case you become stuck in the snow waiting for rescue or if you have an emergency and need to drive somewhere.

• Check that your exhaust pipe is not clogged with mud or snow.

• Don't use cruise control on icy roads.

• Allow more time and space for braking when visibility is poor.

• Try to stay calm if you start to skid and be prepared for black ice.

• If your vehicle has anti-lock brakes, be familiar with how they operate so you are not surprised if your ABS brakes engage in slick driving conditions.

All drivers should think about using extra caution when driving in winter conditions. Slow down and allow additional time to get to your destination.
