Justin entered the insurance industry in 2005 at the ground floor, with scanning documents being his first assigned task. Never the one to sit idle, so with each project he increased his knowledge and experience and eventually joined the ranks of an Account Manager, a position he has held over the last ten years. Justin is motivated to ensure his clients have proper coverage and has earned the professional designations of Certified Insurance Service Representative (CISR) & Certified Insurance Counselor (CIC) to ensure he is aware of the latest in industry topics. Outside of work, his favorite pastime is using his degree in classical clarinet performance to perform in symphonies, wind ensembles, orchestras, and community wind bands. He notes that a degree in music is actually not as far from a career in insurance as you might imagine. Musical ensembles teach you to work together as a group, to strive to be your best for the good of the group, to pay attention to detail, and to focus on the task at hand. These traits instill discipline and time management skills, which contribute to his success as an insurance advisor. He also has a passion in rescuing Border Collies and loves the challenge of working with rescues.
