I was born and raised in North Plainfield, NJ and went into the construction industry for several years before visiting Florida on an extended vacation in 1977. The weather agreed with me so I decided to make Florida my full time residence.  I continued in the construction industry for many years; moving from "nailing it up" to selling and servicing contractors by providing the building materials for their projects. The work ethic of providing quality products in a timely manner served me well as I transitioned to the insurance industry a few years ago. Sharing knowledge to provide the best options for each individual's personal situation is the key to building long term relationships as "making  friends" as opposed to "having clients" is my goal.

Hobbies:  Staying active, I still lift weights 5-6 times a week at the gym. Cooking - especially finding new recipes that produce the "what is in this?" response when someone tastes it.
