“I would say that while insurance can be so frustrating for people, because you're paying a lot of money for a piece of paper. Having had 26 years in the business, I have seen plenty of cases where that piece of paper saved someone's rear end. Whether it's an auto accident, whether it is a house fire, whether it is a dog bite, or any of those kinds of things from my perspective in Property and Casualty, that peace of mind.”

[13:08-13:14]

“You’re right, the larger sale doesn't necessarily have as much of a satisfactory experience as just serving the person well.”

[20:14-20:31]

“I would say the personal aspects definitely exceeds by an exponential form my business only because I think that's the relationships matter. So, that really sets my kids and my wife. Like I said, by God's grace. But I think that would be our biggest accomplishment.”
