Distracted driving is, of course, unsafe. But it also keeps you from some serious savings on your car insurance. Our DriverIQ program rewards you for having a steady hand behind the wheel and, unlike other providers, we won't increase your base premium or surcharge you for poor driving.

We 💚supporting (and insuring) small businesses and here’s why:
• Small businesses make our community unique and boost our local economy.
• They showcase the local expertise, focus and commitment to our community’s residents; that’s why I specialize in providing customized protection with small business insurance.
• As a COUNTRY Financial rep, I’m a small business owner, too, so I understand the challenges and needs of small business owners in our community.

I know our local small business owners are in a constant balancing act to make sure their business succeeds. That’s why this Small Business Appreciation Month I thank you for the dedication you bring to your community every day.

Happy Small Business Appreciation Month!

Are you a newlywed or newly engaged? If so, congrats! Here are our top marriage finance tips to get you started as you plan your new life. Budget together. Discuss separate or combined finances, total debt, savings goals & who manages the bills.

💚 Budget together. Discuss separate or combined finances, total debt, savings goals & who manages the bills.

💚 Consider life insurance: If you think you can’t afford it, you’d be surprised.

💚 Protect your valuables: The engagement ring & wedding bands likely aren’t covered on standard home policies. But they can be.

💚 Ask about Umbrella (liability) insurance: This coverage picks up where traditional car and home insurance drops off.

💚 Find a financial advisor: Before you say you don’t have the $$ to need a financial advisor, that’s exactly WHY you need a financial advisor!
