Meet Our Team

---

My dad started working in the insurance industry in 1972 and opened his agency in North Massapequa in 1996 when I started working with him. Watching him interact with people was the reason I got into the business. He got to know so many people in the area, and everyone knew him wherever we went. I took over the agency when he retired in 2001, after 20 years in the business, and I’m proud to now work with the kids and grandkids of the people he helped to insure over the years.

Massapequa is a close-knit community, and my wife, Joey, and I are happy to be raising our twin son and daughter nearby. Most days you’ll find me at the office or with my family — especially on various sports fields with my kids. But I also do my best to give back to the community through the Massapequa Chamber of Commerce. I’m a member of the Columbus Lodge of the Order Sons of Italy, and I sponsor scholarships through the group each year. I also support local softball leagues and Plainedge High School football, and I enjoy my time with the Mustang Club of Long Island.

My team and I have been together for a long time, and you’ll experience a friendly, customer-oriented feel that comes with a family business. We understand life on the south shore first-hand and are ready to help you protect what matters most — whether you need home, auto or life insurance or are a contractor who needs small business insurance. We’re also here to help you prepare for your future, from saving for college to getting ready for retirement. Our office is located at 744 North Broadway in Massapequa— please stop in and see us today!

I spent my childhood and early adult years in Queens, New York. I attended the Tobe Coburn School for Fashion Careers in NYC. Before starting at the Zabbia Agency, I worked at a company that required extensive traveling throughout Asia, during which I worked with both potential and existing customers.

I have a love for learning; in fact, I try to learn something new every day at the office. Helping our customers to meet their insurance needs has been an incredibly enriching experience. There is nothing better than making sure our clients are properly prepared for the future!

I am passionate about seeing the world and really enjoy taking trips with my son and husband. We have visited many interesting places throughout the U.S. as well as Europe and Asia.

Staying physically fit and healthy is very important to me, so exercise is a major part of my daily routine. When I’m not at the gym or in the office, you can find me at the beach— walking and running the beautiful Long Island boardwalks.

In addition to my role here at the Zabbia agency, I help run my husband’s construction company! I have always had an eye for design. In fact, my friends tell me that I am a great asset to them in helping decorate and organize their homes.

As a 10 year survivor of Breast Cancer, I am actively involved in many ways to help that community. I consistently donate and volunteer in my free time.

 I grew up in Massapequa, New York and graduated from Farmingdale High School. I went to SCCC for their Baking Program for one year and later graduated from Farmingdale State College with my Bachelors of Science degree in Business Management.

My experience with the Zabbia Agency started with my role as a social media and marketing intern. I enjoyed my job so much that after graduation, I decided to stay and further my knowledge of marketing in the insurance industry.

I am passionate about the community I live in and making a positive impact. I especially enjoy learning new ways to create connections in the community by using social media. Nothing brings me more satisfaction than learning a new skill. I also like to help others in the office by teaching them something new, no matter how big or small.

To me, nothing says “I care about you” more than cooking someone a delicious meal. When I’m not in the office, you can find me in the kitchen either cooking or baking— I’ve had a passion for both from a very young age.

My name is Maria. I am from Huntington, New York. I graduated from Walt Whitman High School and continued on to Farmingdale State College, where I graduated in 2018 with a Bachelors in Global Business and Minor in Art and Graphic Design.

I started with The Zabbia Agency with a role as a marketing intern and sales assistant. After college, I decided to stay and gain more experience in the role. I enjoy working at The Zabbia Insurance Agency. I love what they stand for and what they do for the community, always going above and beyond.

My name is Valarria Williams, but I go by Val mostly because it's easier to say and remember!  I grew up in Amityville NY. I am the mother of two beautiful children. I graduated from Copiague HS in 2007 and then got my degree in 2012 in Criminal Justice from Briarcliffe College in Bethpage NY. I have always wanted to be in public service because I enjoy helping people. Though it didn’t work out for me to become a law enforcement officer I found my home in insurance because I am still able to provide people in my community and surrounding communities with the protection that they need. I enjoy working with the Zabbia team! Coming to work every day is rewarding because not only do I get to help our insured navigate the insurance world but I also get to spend my days with a phenomenal group of talented individuals.

  My name is Matt McNally. I am from Massapequa, NY. I graduated from The University of Tampa in 2020 with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and a Minor in Business Administration. I worked in the restaurant industry for several years before I decided to work at The Zabbia Agency. I thought it would be a nice change of pace and an opportunity to work in a whole different industry that didn’t leave me smelling like the food I worked with at the end of the day. When I started at the agency, I was responsible for telemarketing and now I am a fully licensed sales producer. I am grateful for the chance Rob gave me since I came to him with zero experience. It is easy to come to work every day when an outstanding team at The Zabbia Agency surrounds me.
