If you know where you want to go, people will always help you get there. That’s part of what I do as a local State Farm agent for my neighbors in Old Hickory, TN and the surrounding Nashville area, including Hermitage, Donelson, Antioch and Mount Juliet. I’ve spent the last decade helping people find the right coverage plan for their lives, so they can feel confident about getting to where they’re going.

I believe in following your passions wholeheartedly. I followed mine from India to America and spent 15 years in the hospitality industry (I also spent time on stage as a magician!). I became a State Farm agent in 2010, because I know insurance is a product that is often misunderstood. I enjoy being able to use my financial knowledge and relationship skills to help people understand what they need and make sure they have the right coverage. My team and I are always available to answer questions and offer support.

I’m a strong believer in supporting this wonderful community. I volunteer with TN Achieves mentoring program & McGavock High School. I am a Member of the YMCA board and a member (and former president) of the local Chamber of Commerce. Outside the office, I like to keep my magician’s hand in and often perform a magic show for State Farm events and conventions. I also love acting and have appeared in several local productions! In my free time, you can find me performing stand-up comedy for the entertainment of my retired greyhound Mary Jane.

Our office is the recipient of the 2020 Main Street Award (Top Insurance Agency). If you’re looking for coverage that helps you protect what matters most, let’s talk today!
