ABOUT OUR AGENCY:
Our State Farm agency is built on a 50-year legacy of serving the Athens community with trusted insurance and financial services. As a lifelong Athens resident and University of Georgia graduate, I take great pride in helping individuals and families protect what matters most. My journey began working in my father’s State Farm agency, where I learned firsthand the importance of building strong relationships with customers.

Before opening my own agency in 2012, I spent time in home building and real estate development, focusing on sustainable practices. Now, I’m fortunate to lead a team dedicated to personalized service, community involvement, and making a real impact. Our agency proudly supports the Athens Farmers Market, Rotary Club, and the Athens Area Chamber of Commerce.

If you're looking for a team that values integrity, customer care, and community connection, we'd love to welcome you!
