ABOUT OUR AGENCY:
I opened my agency in January 2025 and currently have a team of three. Before becoming an agent, I spent 4.5 years as a team member and six years working in claims for State Farm, which gave me a deep understanding of both sides of the business.
I come from a State Farm family — my brother is also an agent. I went to Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, and outside of work I love fishing, playing golf, traveling, and catching sporting events. I’m also actively involved in the Chamber of Commerce and Rotary Club.
We offer great perks including flexibility, weekly office lunches, a Simple IRA, and Life and Short-Term Disability policies after six months. Team members also receive three weeks of vacation and eight paid sick days.
Our office culture is flexible and goal-focused. When goals are met, team members can earn additional time off. I’m looking for someone with a growth mindset, who takes initiative to learn new tactics, communicates well, and is focused on delivering excellent service. A goal-oriented, adaptive, and team-driven attitude will thrive here.
