Schedule with Tristan

was raised in a small town in Idaho without many things to do, so I grew up loving nature and the mountains, whether going for hikes, riding dirt bikes, or just going for a drive on a dirt road. In my free time, if I’m not out in nature, I will pick up a book and step out of reality for a minute into the beautiful world of literature. I have always strived to learn, so stepping into the insurance world was one of my best decisions.

My Mother and Father have hands down been the biggest support I could have ever asked for walking through this new part of my life. They have raised me to learn, accomplish, and achieve in this world, which is what I plan to do in the Insurance world.
