About me

Meet Steve—Local RedHawk, Insurance Guy, and Occasional Cat Sidekick

I was born and raised just around the corner in New Carlisle, Ohio—a hometown guy through and through. I graduated from Tecumseh High School in ’81, then headed to Miami University, where I joined the RedHawk family with the Class of ’85. My State Farm adventure began in March 1986, and nearly four decades later, I’m still having a blast helping people make GREAT DECISIONS. These days, our team is happy to welcome customers at both our Dayton and Vandalia locations.

At home, my wife, Paula, and I have two amazing grown kids, a fantastic son-in-law, and one granddog who’s pretty sure he’s the head of the family. Then there’s Matteus, our large and highly opinionated house cat. Let’s just say the rest of us live in his house.

Faith and community are close to our hearts, and the Miami Valley has been home for more than 60 years. After that long, we’ve picked up a few local stories—and maybe earned honorary “local legend” status!

What gets me out of bed?

Helping people make GREAT DECISIONS. Whether you stop by in Dayton or Vandalia, you’ll find a friendly team ready to listen, share our experience, and help you explore your insurance and financial services options. We’re big believers in lasting relationships, genuine care, and being in your corner—because great decisions always start with a good conversation.

The values behind our team

  • Work-Life Balance: There’s more to life than a to-do list.

  • Difference Maker: We’re here to help—and hopefully make someone’s day a little better, too.

  • Growth Mindset: Keep learning, keep improving, keep asking good questions.

  • Optimistic Spirit: A little sunshine goes a long way.

  • Highest Integrity: Do the right thing, even when no one’s watching.

Come say hi at our Dayton or Vandalia office! We’d love to meet you, help with your next great decision, and—if you’re lucky—share a Matteus story. He provides us with plenty of material.

Our mission

Our Mission: Helping You Make GREAT DECISIONS

At our agency, making GREAT DECISIONS isn’t just a goal—it’s our superpower! With more than 80 years of combined State Farm experience, we’re ready to help you explore your insurance and financial services options with confidence, care, and a healthy helping of good humor.

Life has a way of throwing curveballs. We’ll help you sort through the options and figure out your next steps—no crystal ball or superhero cape required. (Though coffee does help.)

Reasons to stop by—besides the insurance help

  • Coffee that’s basically a hug in a mug

  • Delicious treats, sometimes gluten-free, because happy tummies matter

  • A legendary sense of humor—laughter is always welcome here

  • A warm hello and a team that’s happy to see you

Our team’s values (our everyday superpowers)

  • Work-Life Balance: Life is a juggling act. We’re here to cheer you on as you keep the important balls in the air.

  • Difference Maker: We don’t just show up—we look for ways to make someone’s day better.

  • Growth Mindset: Always learning, improving, and leveling up.

  • Optimistic Spirit: We bring the good vibes—and occasionally imaginary confetti.

  • Highest Integrity: Doing what’s right isn’t optional. It’s the whole point.

Why Choose Us?

The Miami Valley has been home for nearly four decades of my State Farm journey—and since I was born and raised here, it’s always had a special place in my heart. My team and I believe great service starts with listening, genuine care, and helping customers explore options that fit their needs.

We’re here to build lasting relationships, share what we know, and make insurance conversations feel a little less like homework. Expect friendly faces, down-to-earth conversations, and maybe a coffee, a treat, or a Matteus-the-cat story along the way.

Come see how great decisions, great coffee, and great people come together. We can’t wait to meet you!

Our team

With more than 70 years of combined State Farm experience—and enough coffee-fueled brainstorming to power a small rocket—we’re here to help you make GREAT DECISIONS. No crystal ball required! Whether you have insurance or financial services questions, we’ll bring the know-how, friendly conversation, and a can-do attitude.

What makes our team tick?

  • Work/Life Balance: We work hard and focus just as intently on the life waiting outside the office.

  • Difference Maker: We don’t just help—we try to add a little extra awesome to every interaction.

  • Growth Mindset: Always learning, growing, and leveling up. (Our houseplants are still catching up.)

  • Optimistic Spirit: We bring the sunshine—even when the forecast says otherwise.

  • Highest Integrity: We do the right thing, every time. No funny business—unless it’s a good joke.

And if you visit our Vandalia office, you may be greeted by two very friendly, four-legged members of the team. They’re excellent at welcoming guests, accepting compliments, and hoping someone brought treats.

Come say hello for helpful guidance, a few laughs, and maybe a cookie—or a tail wag or two!
