As for our agent, Ray was born and raised as a native of Plainfield. He graduated from Plainfield High School as part of the class of '81. He then attended Joliet Junior College, receiving an associates in business before continuing his education to complete his Bachelor's of Science in Finance at Northern Illinois University. Go Huskies! Ray began his journey with State Farm while working in claims and providing that good neighbor service to policyholders from day one. Additionally, he spent 3 1/2 years serving on the National Catastrophe Team traveling around the country and handling claims from Hurricane Andrew in Miami, the Northridge Earthquake in Los Angeles, the large hail losses in Dallas, Texas, and even the snow, hail and high wind scenario referred to as the "Pineapple Express" in Northern California. These experiences made Ray well versed in policy contracts and customer service. He then opened his own agency in 2001 in his hometown of Plainfield, Illinois right off Route 59.
He's been growing his business for over 20 years, and has also grown his family. He and his wife, Joan, reside just down the road in Shorewood, Illinois with their two children, Sheridan and Christopher, and their family dog, Frosty. Sheridan and Christopher are both in college now as Sheridan is obtaining her master's degree from Johns Hopkins University after finishing her undergraduate career at the University of Iowa and Christopher is just starting his journey at the University of Alabama after recently graduating from JCA. With an empty nest, Ray enjoys all outdoor activities like golfing, fishing, watching Chicago sports year-round, and grilling out in the summer! Ray and his family are avid foodies, so be sure to let him know what your favorite restaurants are next time you're in the office.
