I am proud to work as a State Farm agent in Arroyo Grande since 2002. My team and I serve the greater Five Cities area (Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, Pismo Beach, Shell Beach and Oceano), as well as the entire Central Coast and all of California.
Prior to becoming an agent, I was an Auto & Homeowner claims adjuster for many years. Before that, I owned and operated an auto body shop. My office manager, Margie Kikuchi, was born and raised in Arroyo Grande, and has worked in a State Farm office for 40 years; 20 years in my office! All of this experience, coupled with the resources of a great company like State Farm, means you are in for a wonderful customer experience! In fact, exceptional customer service is the cornerstone of our office. We value and enjoy our customer relationships, and often end up insuring the adult children and grandchildren of our current customers.
A little more about my background: I was born in San Jose and attended Fresno State on a basketball scholarship before transferring to Cal Poly to play basketball and continue my education. My wife Shelly was born in San Luis Obispo and currently works at Cal Poly. We have been married for 39 years and have 2 daughters and 5 grandchildren. We love to travel, hang out with our dog Dudley, and chase grandchildren around.
I enjoy restoring classic cars, basketball, and anything my grandchildren are doing. Both Margie and I stay involved in the community and actively support youth sports and community events on an ongoing basis. I have coached 5 Cities Youth Basketball, club basketball and high school girls' basketball.
We look forward to meeting you!
