Ian got his start helping clients with Medicare, licensed in most U.S. states working entirely by phone. That experience—navigating complex policies, earning trust remotely, and explaining things clearly—set the foundation for this agency.
After moving from New Jersey to California, Ian launched the agency under the Farmers Insurance brand with a focus on helping Californians through today’s tough insurance landscape.
