WE DON'T JUST INSURE YOUR PASSION —

We Share It

I

n a nutshell, my role at Progressive is to acquire customers for our motorcycle, boat, and RV insurance and protection products. My colleagues and I feel that we have

a distinct advantage when designing our products, because as owners ourselves, we understand your unique needs and share your passion for these vehicles.

In my case, this has been a lifelong passion. From a young age, I'd ride on the back of my dad's Suzuki on Saturday mornings as we got out of the house and checked out local garage sales. Over the years, I graduated from a moped to my first grown-up bike: a beautiful blue Suzuki Katana.

After getting married and starting a family, my priorities changed, but I never lost my passion for motorcycles. I inherited a 2000 Harley FXDX after my father hung

up his helmet, and I'm beginning to create those weekend memories with my own children, who don helmets and long pants for a chance to take short, low-speed rides on the back of "dad's motorcycle."

My most recent source of adventure if a Polaris RZR side-by-side that I got last fall.

It's a four-seater, which means my wife and two kids can come along, and we take it trail riding in the beautiful mountains of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. I think of it as part market research for my day job and part family getaway. It's a great excuse

for my family to trade in our iPads, video games, and other distractions for lunch on the trails. We already have many years' worth of stories to laugh about around the dinner table. (Yes, Kevin, I'm talking about that "shortcut" you suggested.)

I'd be remiss if I didn't also mention watercraft and RVs, which, of course

Progressive also insures. After selling the Katana, we gave boating a try with a Sea

Ray cabin cruiser and a pair of WaveRunners. In fact, I can honestly say that I either own or have owned every major type of vehicle we insure at Progressive, with the exception of an RV, though we often go camping with my in-laws in their Forest River Mini Lite.

Needless to say, I insure all of my vehicles with Progressive. The reason is obvious;

I know Progressive is just as passionate about these vehicles as I am, so I know our polices are exactly what people like us need.

Being properly insured is important, not only for the vehicle, but to protect against liability and the unknown. I want to protect my family and our financial stability, as well as cover potential medical costs and vehicle repairs. My whole family enjoys

getting away from the day-to-day with these toys, and knowing we're insured when we go out gives us all the peace of mind we need to make those memories even more special.
