Personal Insurance That Fits Your Life, Not Just Your Budget

I work with multiple carriers to find the right coverage for where you live, what you drive, and what you're building — so you're not stuck with whatever one company happens to offer.



Independent agent. Real person. One call does it all.

Whether you're a homeowner in Portage, renting your first apartment, or looking for a life insurance policy that actually makes sense for your situation, I can help. As an independent agent with access to carriers like Progressive, Erie, and several Wisconsin-based companies, I shop your coverage across multiple options instead of steering you toward whatever fits one company's lineup.


That's the difference between working with a captive agent and working with me.


Personal insurance Portage WI residents can count on — whether you're in Columbia County, Sauk County, Dodge County, or anywhere within about 50 miles of my office on Main Street in downtown Portage.

What Personal Insurance Covers

Medical, dental, vision, and more—structured to support your workforce and your bottom line.

Homeowners Insurance

Your home is likely your biggest investment. A homeowners policy covers the structure, your belongings, and your liability — so if something goes wrong, you're not starting over from scratch. I'll walk you through what's actually in your policy, not just hand you a declarations page and wish you luck.

Auto Insurance

Wisconsin requires liability coverage, but the right auto policy does a lot more than meet the minimum. I'll help you find coverage that fits how you drive, what you drive, and what you can afford — from liability and collision to uninsured motorist protection.

Renters Insurance

If you're renting, your landlord's policy doesn't cover your stuff. Renters insurance is one of the most affordable policies available, and most people are surprised by how much it covers — personal property, liability, and additional living expenses if something forces you out of your unit.

Condo Insurance

Condo ownership sits between renting and owning a home — and your coverage needs reflect that. Your HOA has a master policy, but it doesn't cover everything inside your unit. I'll help you understand where the HOA policy ends and where yours needs to begin.

Life Insurance

Life insurance is one of those things people put off until they really think about what happens to the people they care about. I can help you look at term and permanent options in plain language, without the pressure tactics, so you can make a decision that actually fits your situation.

Why Work With an Independent Agent for Your Personal Lines?

When you buy insurance through a captive agent, you get that company's products — full stop. When you work with me, I can compare rates and coverage across multiple carriers to find what actually fits your needs. That matters whether you're bundling home and auto, shopping for the first time, or just wondering if you're overpaying on a policy you've had for years.

Here's what working with me looks like in practice:

  • I hold appointments with multiple carriers including Progressive, Erie, and Wisconsin-based companies
  • Every policy, renewal, and question goes through me directly — there's no staff layer between you and your agent
  • I've been in the insurance industry for over 15 years, with 7 years as an independent agent
  • My office is at 141 E Cook St in downtown Portage — you can walk in, call, or email
  • I serve Portage and communities throughout central Wisconsin, including Wisconsin Dells, Baraboo, Beaver Dam, Columbus, and Pardeeville

Common Questions About Working With an Independent Insurance Agent

The honest answer depends on your situation, but there are a few things most people in central Wisconsin should have in place.

  • Is homeowners insurance required in Wisconsin?

    Wisconsin doesn't legally require homeowners insurance, but if you have a mortgage, your lender almost certainly does. Beyond the lender requirement, going without coverage on a home is a significant financial risk. Replacing a roof, rebuilding after a fire, or covering a liability claim out of pocket can be financially devastating.

  • What's the minimum auto insurance required in Wisconsin?

    Wisconsin requires drivers to carry at least $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident in bodily injury liability, plus $10,000 in property damage liability. Uninsured motorist coverage is also required. Most drivers benefit from carrying more than the state minimum — I can walk you through what makes sense for your situation.


  • Do I need renters insurance if my landlord has insurance?

    Yes. Your landlord's policy covers the building — not your belongings, not your liability, and not your costs if you're temporarily displaced. Renters insurance fills that gap, and it's typically one of the most affordable policies available.

  • Can I bundle multiple personal insurance policies together?

    In most cases, yes, and bundling home and auto is one of the most common ways to lower your overall premium. I'll compare bundled and separate options across carriers to make sure you're getting the best value, not just a discount that looks good on paper.

  • How do I get personal insurance quotes in Wisconsin?

    The easiest way is to call me directly at 608-745-9144. I'll ask you a few questions, compare options across my carrier appointments, and walk you through what I find — no pressure, no runaround.
