About Me – Your Trusted Oregon and Washington Insurance Agent
Happy Summer! Summer toys like trailers, ATVs, dirt bikes, and quads are not cheap to replace — and significant risks if they’re not properly insured. Here’s why coverage matters: They’re expensive to repair or replace. ATVs can run $8,000–$15,000+, and travel trailers easily reach $30,000–$100,000. Without proper coverage, an accident, theft, or weather event could mean a devastating out-of-pocket loss. Standard auto and homeowner’s policies usually don’t cover them. This is the most common mistake people make. A homeowner’s policy may offer very limited coverage for items stored on your property, but it typically won’t cover an ATV while it’s being ridden, or a trailer once it’s unhitched and parked at a campsite. You need specialized policies for each. Talk to Darren today about how to properly insure your summertime toys!
Local Community Involvement & Personal Interests
I’m deeply invested in the Hillsboro and Glencoe communities. For over eight years, I’ve coached youth sports, including basketball and baseball, through local programs like the Little Dribblers basketball clinic (serving K-4th graders since 2017). Helping kids develop fundamental skills is a rewarding way to give back while staying active during those chilly winter mornings.
A proud Oregon State University alum and passionate sports fan, you’ll often find me cheering for the OSU Beavers, across all sports. Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family—whether it’s taking my kids to the city pool, enjoying sushi with my wife, or exploring local ice cream shops.

With a background in financial services and hospitality, I bring empathy, professionalism, and clear communication to every customer interaction.

Q: What are the insurance requirements on a leased car?
A: Leased vehicles typically require more coverage than the state minimums. In addition to liability insurance, leasing companies usually require comprehensive and collision coverage, and you may need to list the leasing company on your policy as an additional insured or loss payee. Serving Hillsboro and the surrounding area, Darren can help answer your questions.
Q: How does life insurance work at a basic level?
A: Life insurance is designed to help provide financial support to your loved ones if something happens to you. It can help cover expenses like daily living costs, debts, or future needs, depending on the type of policy and coverage you choose. Darren, your local State Farm agent in Hillsboro, OR, is here to help.
Q: What is renters insurance?
A: Renters insurance is a policy designed to help protect your personal belongings and provide liability coverage while you're renting a home or apartment. It focuses on your possessions and potential risks, rather than the building itself, which is typically covered by your landlord's policy. Have questions? Darren in Hillsboro can walk you through your options.
Q: What does home insurance cover?
A: Homeowners insurance can help protect your home, your belongings, and your financial well-being. It may cover the structure of your home, your personal property, and provide liability protection, along with help for additional living expenses in certain situations. Darren works with Hillsboro residents to find coverage that fits.
