About Me

Step into my office and you'll be met by the smell of fresh baked cookies. It's just one of the special touches I want for my customers. Now in my 31st year with State Farm, and hundreds of pounds of cookie dough later, my passion to protect you - using my heart of a teacher - continues.

I am married to my wonderful bride, Dawndy Plank. Yes, the WIS TV news anchor. We enjoy spending time with our three children, Chandler, Chase, and Camille. Many of our favorite memories as a family are made actively participating in water sports and in our church.

I have lived in SC since 1980. I graduated from Socastee High School and the College of Charleston. Growing up with a father who was a career fighter pilot in the Air Force and a mother, a career high school teacher, you'll quickly understand why I love our military and support our teachers and administrators.

It's a pleasure to serve the Midlands of SC including Richland, Lexington, Kershaw, and Fairfield counties. My experienced team and I are here to help those in the greater Columbia area make wise insurance decisions. On a daily basis, we meet your personal and business insurance needs in a professional manner.

We look forward to helping you with your auto insurance, home insurance, renters insurance, life insurance, health insurance, business insurance, commercial insurance, workers compensation insurance, and excess liability umbrella insurance.

Our community is very important to me. That is why I have been actively serving in Richland County my whole career.
