About me

Your Sycamore State Farm Agent Since 2006

Ben Franklin said an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. After 30 years in insurance, I can tell you he was right. The coverage that matters most is often the coverage people don't know they're missing.

That's where my team and I come in. We take the time to understand your situation (your car, your home, your family, your business) and show you clearly where you're protected and where you're exposed. No pressure and no jargon, just straight answers.

I've owned this State Farm® agency in Sycamore since 2006, and I'm proud of the people who work alongside me. They're licensed, they keep learning, and they care about getting it right for you. We help drivers, homeowners, renters, families and business owners across Sycamore, DeKalb and DeKalb County with auto insurance, home insurance, renters insurance, life insurance and business insurance.

Sycamore is home. I serve as State Representative for Illinois' 70th District and am a member of the Rotary Club of Sycamore and the Sycamore Chamber of Commerce. Over the years I've served as president of the Rotary Club of Sycamore and the Sycamore Public Library Board, on the executive board of the Sycamore Chamber of Commerce and the board of the Kishwaukee YMCA, and as director of NAIFA Fox Valley. I've coached AYSO soccer and Sycamore basketball, and I'm an Edgar Fellow and part of the Leadership in Life Institute.

New to the area? Stop by the office or call. We'll help you settle in with the right coverage from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: How do I get car insurance quotes?

A: You can get car insurance quotes online, by phone, or with a local agent by sharing details about your vehicle, driving history, and coverage needs. Looking for coverage? Talk with Jeff about your options in Sycamore.

Q: How fast can I get car insurance?

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. Jeff is proud to serve the Sycamore community.

Q: What are the insurance requirements on a leased 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. Serving Sycamore and the surrounding area, Jeff can help answer your questions.

Q: Do you need to carry insurance on your home?

A: Whether homeowners insurance is required depends on your situation and may vary by state. If you have home financing, your lender will likely require it. Even if it's not required, many people choose to have coverage to help protect their home and everything that comes with it. Jeff, your local State Farm agent in Sycamore, IL, is here to help.

Q: What's included in renters insurance coverage?

A: Renters insurance can help cover your personal belongings, personal liability, and additional living expenses if your rental becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss. Have questions? Jeff in Sycamore can walk you through your options.

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. It can help give your loved ones financial support when they may need it most. Jeff works with Sycamore residents to find coverage that fits.

Our mission

Our Purpose

To help people understand insurance and see the risks of everyday life clearly, before those risks become problems.

How We Work

• Intention. Everything we do has a reason. We review your coverage on purpose, not out of habit.

• Coach. We explain how each policy works and what it means for you, so you can decide with confidence.

• Care. We're invested in the success of everyone we work with. The little things we do every day tell the story.

Our Mission

To help customers manage the risks of everyday life, recover from the unexpected and realize their dreams. We strive to be your first choice for auto, home, renters, life and business insurance in Illinois.

Where We Serve

Sycamore, DeKalb, Cortland, Genoa, Maple Park, Elburn, Campton Hills, St. Charles, Geneva, Batavia and communities throughout Illinois. Like you, we live, work and play here. We make it our business to be Like a Good Neighbor.

Why Choose Us

My approach to insurance is shaped by three decades in this business, including nearly twenty years leading my own agency, and a genuine commitment to understanding unique individual circumstances. I take deep pride in my team, knowing that we prioritize creating awareness for each customer about the protections they truly need—especially those often overlooked. This means we don't just process policies; we act with intention, thoroughly exploring personal situations to help people understand the dynamics and impact of their choices. Our commitment to ongoing learning ensures that our guidance is always informed and up-to-date.

My involvement in various community initiatives and my role serving locally reflect a broader dedication to serving others, values which extend directly to how we work with customers. We genuinely care, striving to be invested in the success of everyone we interact with, understanding that the small details speak volumes. Whether helping newcomers discover their needs or guiding long-time residents, our purpose is to help people manage risks, recover when the unexpected happens, and confidently pursue their aspirations.
