ABOUT OUR AGENCY:
Our agency opened in 2025 and is currently a small but growing team of two, with a strong focus on building something meaningful from the ground up. Prior to opening the agency, I spent several years as an Area Manager with Enterprise Rent-A-Car, where I developed a passion for leadership, team development, and performance-driven environments. After being recruited by State Farm, I saw an opportunity to create a business that combined competitiveness, teamwork, and long-term impact.

Family is a major priority here - I’m married with two children, and that perspective shapes how I lead and support my team. We believe in working hard while also maintaining balance, flexibility, and a positive atmosphere. Outside the office, giving back matters to us as well. I currently coach basketball at the Boys & Girls Club and am excited to become even more involved in the local community as we continue to put down roots.

For our team, we offer 10 days of PTO, a Simple IRA, a hiring bonus, and a strong emphasis on work-life balance. Our culture is fun, competitive, and family-oriented, with everyone working together toward shared goals. We’re looking for resilient, communicative, and positive team members who don’t shy away from challenges, can push through rejection, and thrive in a fast-paced, team-first environment.

If you’re motivated, competitive, and ready to grow alongside an agency that’s just getting started, this could be a great place to build your next chapter.
