Married to Catherine and parents of 2 daughters, Helene (23) and Elise (19). I was born (1965) and raised in Northern France and moved to Paris for my first job in 1988. There I met Catherine and we decided to give it a go together! In 2007, we had an opportunity to move to the States, courtesy of the business. Our first landing was in MN, where we stayed for about a year before moving west to San
Diego. There, we learned the life SoCal Style and we watched our kids growing up and quickly becoming SoCal material!! Helene now lives in LA, fund raising for Charity organization and Elise is experiencing college at UC Irvine, although 2020 provided more a "College at Home" experience than anything else! Catherine bakes and I play golf and shoot planets galaxies and stuff for fun! About the business, and after 30 years in the software industry, helping companies to get better, I decided I wanted now to help people and so started my insurance franchise early 2020 (Again, pretty good timing eh?!?). I'm loving it, even though it is a tad more complex than I thought, but everything is, right? I'm independent, meaning I work with multiple insurance carriers for home and auto... What this means is that my customers are enjoying a very sought after benefit... CHOICE... Instead of being forced fit into one product, I work with them to find a product that fits them, their needs and their budget! The home buying process is long and complex and the car buying is fairly simple and fast. In both case, the State requires insurance but it is ALWAYS the last thing you think about and customers are always in a sort of rush to find and buy an insurance policy for the home or the car they are about to buy. My organization has an average response time of 8mn... If a lender needs a change of coverage, we have a dedicated team to work this in less than 20mn. Insurance, from being a pain and potentially a bottleneck by lack of response, is now fast and efficient!
