He just got his 2-20 property and casualty license back in March and ever since he started working here he has learned a ton about the insurance industry and is looking forward to making connections with clients and what the future holds here at M&L. In his free time he really enjoys running, usually running about 20-25 miles per week and spending time with his family, girlfriend Maya and dog Eva. If I am not here at the office I am most likely refereeing basketball at one gym or another.
