ABOUT OUR AGENCY:
I opened my agency in 2000 and currently lead a team of 10. Before becoming an agent, I worked for State Farm Corporate, where I developed a passion for serving customers and building great teams. I'm a graduate of Texas A&M University, a proud husband, father, and grandfather, and enjoy golfing, fishing, and spending time with my family.

Giving back to the community is one of our core values. Our agency proudly supports Bethesda Health Clinic, cancer awareness initiatives, and the Hispanic Business Association. We believe in serving our community with the same care and dedication we provide our customers every day.

Our agency offers health benefits, a Simple IRA, performance bonuses and commissions, professional development, growth opportunities, fun team competitions, and exciting incentive programs. We love celebrating success - including one of our favorite traditions, a money machine that showers our top performers with $100 bills!

Our culture is energetic, family-oriented, and supportive. We embrace diversity and are proud to have a strong Spanish-speaking presence, living by the philosophy, "We do more than speak your language." I'm looking for someone who is motivated, creative, and enjoys working as part of a collaborative team.
