Born in Indianapolis, IN. Grew up on a farm in Glen Carbon, IL. Graduated from Edwardsville Senior High School. College at SIU-E, under- graduate. Auto Body school at Collinsville Vocational for 4 years. Married to my Becky in 77 and have 1 daughter. My wife and daughter both work for Mercy and a Son in Law that is a Webster County Deputy. They have a son who is my Grandbuddy! Started work at International Harvester Garage, moved to a Fiat, Subaru Dealership. From there, worked at a Chrysler Dealership in Parts and Service. Took a position with Schnuck Markets Grocery Chain in dispatch for. their independent truck division and moved up to Corporate Traffic Manager. Started a small trucking company working mostly with JIT auto parts. Sold company and began sales career back into automotive with an engine and transmission remanufacturer. Traveled 7 state territory for 10 years before deciding to stay local with O’Reilly Auto Parts. We moved to Fordland, MO in 2017 to be close to family and watch our Grandson grow up. Felt the need to continue my career in the insurance business. Studied life and health and licensed with the Missouri. Worked with Medicare supplements and Medicare advantage products. Decided to increase my knowledge by expanding my license to casualty and fire. Completed courses with Farmers Insurance and started a Farmers agency. As of June 1, 2020, started an independent agency representing over 22 Insurers. I still enjoy working on vehicles, camping and canoeing. My close family live here in Webster County. My interests in customer service and enjoying working with people led me to the insurance business where I could work and live in a community and help protect everything a person has worked for. Owning RBM Insurance Agency as an independent, gives me my independence and ability to work with many companies that provide coverage for almost anything.
