I like being a State Farm Agent, because I love making a difference in my local community! I have worked in the insurance and financial services industry in Montana since June 2002, and our Havre agency since May 2010, which has received a number of awards and other recognition for our remarkable customer service, including TICA Top 100, Legion of Honor, Pacesetters, and more. Our agency offers auto insurance, home insurance, life insurance, and health insurance. We enjoy building relationships with our local customers, including helping existing State Farm customers relocating to our community with their insurance and financial service needs. Additionally, I teach Continuing Education in the insurance industry on the subjects of property, casualty, life, and long-term care insurance.
When I am not being a Good Neighbor, I am a youth leader with local Scouts BSA serving as Dean of the College of Commissioner Science for the Montana Council and National Youth Leadership Training Course Director. I am also involved with the Havre Optimist Club, Havre Lodge of the Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks, and my Church. My business associations include the local Havre Chamber of Commerce, National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisers, and Million Dollar Round Table. Before being a State Farm agent, I worked independently with MMA Financial Services of the Montana Medical Association helping professionals in the medical community and their families with their insurance and financial service needs.
I was born and raised in Texas, became a distinguished graduate of Texas A&M University majoring in Industrial and Organizational Psychology, and served as Officer in U.S. Air Force. In the military, I met, fell in love with, and married fellow Officer, Jill, who was born and raised in Montana and graduated from Brigham Young University. After serving in the military, I worked as a Recruiter, Account Executive, and Operations Manager for Monster.com, before moving to Montana after 9/11 to be closer to Jill's family. On occasion, I can be found acting in or directing plays for Montana Actors Theater of Havre. My wife, Jill, is a Spanish teacher at Havre High School and coaches Havre Blue Ponies Swim Team. We have 5 children: Lita (25), Hiram (19), Micah (15), Isaac (11) and Tirza (5). We also raise rabbits, chickens, and a Golden-Doodle on our 40 acres just outside of the Havre city limits at the base of Saddle Butte.
If you are looking to have a relationship with a local insurance agency, who will not only help you with your auto insurance, home insurance, life insurance, and health insurance locally, but also settle your insurance claims locally, then this State Farm Agency is the one for you!
