How would you convey to a prospective client how you participate in the firm’s team approach?

Here at Surprenant and Beneski we all work together on each of our clients’ files within each department and determine the best course of action for their situation.

I personally enjoy our client interaction and ensuring their needs are met throughout the entire process here at Surprenant and Beneski.

What do you enjoy doing when you are not working?

When I am not working at S&B, I am spending time with my family. I am happily married and have a loving 3 1/2 year old son Kevin Jr. who makes our lives complete. I enjoy being outdoors, having laughs, and living each day as if it were the last day. 

What are 2 – 3 things you absolutely love?

I love doing the job that I do as it is rewarding at the end of each clients’ process as you can see how relieved they are. I love working for Surprenant and Beneski because it is family orientated and also love working for Michelle and Dan, they are the best!

What do you want our clients to know about you?

I am happily married and have a beautiful baby boy Kevin Jr. who is 3 1/2 years old. I enjoy being outdoors, being around people, and living life to its fullest. I enjoy music, creating up-do’s for weddings, and spending time with my family.
