I have been an insurance agent for 19 years. I feel truly blessed to be a part of the Jeff Kincaid Insurance Group team. I have lived in Rutherford County my entire life. I graduated from East Rutherford High School and many years later earned an associate degree from ICC. When I am not at work, I am usually at home. I am very much a homebody. Family is EVERYTHING to me and now I have a beautiful grandson that I am head over heels in love with.
I have been doing insurance for two years and I'm very excited to be part of the Jeff Kincaid Insurance Group team. I have lived all over the United States. I didn’t grow up in one place in particular. I attended a Christian University in Ohio and graduated with a Chemistry/ Forensic Science degree. I am a huge Disney nerd and really love horror movies. Quite the combination! I am an avid reader. I think family is very important. I spend as much time with them as I can.
I received my insurance license in 1992 while working for an independent agent in Morganton, NC. I have also worked in two Nationwide offices previously. Helping clients save money but still have the coverages they need is of the utmost importance to me. Being available when they need to just have a conversation makes my job so satisfying. I grew up in Henderson, NC close to Kerr Lake and Lake Gaston. I moved to Spruce Pine, NC when I was in the 10th grade and graduated from Mitchell High School. I attended Mcdowell Technical Community College and Western Piedmont Community College. Spending time with my grandkids is always fun and interesting. You never know what they are going to say or do. I love watching football in the fall and winter. My favorite weekend getaway is at the lake on a friend's houseboat. Supporting St Jude's Children's Hospital is important to me.
I have been in the industry for 17 years. I am a people person, really enjoy getting to know my customers. I grew up in Marion NC (McDowell Co.) graduated from McDowell High school, attended our local community college. Yes, I still live in the same county.

Izzy is already my new pet. My guilty pleasure is all things chocolate and of course Mexican food! I love all animals especially cats.

I became a Nationwide Insurance agent in 1990 taking over the Brady Brooks Agency. I ran my own successful agency in Marion for 30 years. I love the fact that each day brings new challenges.

I grew up in Marion and attended McDowell High School graduating in 1983. Completed my education at Clemson University, graduating in 1987 with a degree in Industrial Management. I can say without a doubt I am passionate about Clemson football. I have a sugar addiction that borders on ridiculous. It's not uncommon to see me sucking down orange tic tacs or tart n tinys at all hours of the day. If there isn't a Clemson football game to enjoy you will find me hiking the many trails our area has to offer. I love my community and will not hesitate to volunteer when needed. A few of the organizations I have had the honor to serve in the Rotary Club of Marion, McDowell Chamber of Commerce, and Marion Civitan Club.
