I have worked in the North Bay Area as an insurance professional for over 30 years. I specialize in the wine industry, insuring wineries, grape growers, and vineyard management firms. I have been with Heffernan since 1991 as the original North Bay producer when the company only had a total of 30 employees among three offices. I am a company stockholder and I love the team that has been built over the years. We work hard and we have fun. I enjoy competing in sports, mainly basketball. I sponsor a team under Heffernan Insurance Brokers and play on the team. I am also the League Commissioner for Sonoma’s Jack Benny Basketball League, a recreational league for men 39 and over. I was former President of Sonoma Valley Athletic Club from 1991 to 2001 and member of the Sonoma Valley Kiwanis Club from 1986 to 2001. I enjoy spending my weekends with my girlfriend and her daughter, as well as spending time with my two adult sons, my father and stepmother. I love Sonoma Valley, the people, the restaurants, and the wineries.
