I have been in the Home improvement industry for over 16 year from selling windows and doors for Illinois Energy to venturing into interior flooring and window coverings working with a Home Depot service provider. I became a licensed realtor in the state of Illinois for Illinois real estate partners and then decided I wanted to help people protect their biggest investment and fight property insurance claims. Starting off as a contractor I was hungry to help clients even more and decided to get my Public Insurance Adjuster license in Illinois. With this certification I am able to work with clients and interpret policies and provide the best assistance on any insurance claim. I am a family man with a fiance and 2 kids and I can understand hardships. I work diligently to resolve claims so you and your family don't have to worry about uncertainty.
