About Me

"A man is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose." Jim Elliott

Most of us tend to expend much time and energy (and lots of other resources) chasing after what the world calls success. But, we think it is important to remember that "The most important things in life are NOT things!" Reach out to someone today that maybe you haven't seen or spoken to in a while, and let them know that you love them. It's all about relationships!

Call us to learn what makes our office different! With well over one hundred fifty years combined experience, the team at Don Self State Farm knows that the most important things in life aren’t things. Most insurance companies act as if the things are what counts, when it is really the people in our lives that are most important. We want to let you focus on the most important things, and let us take care of your things when they get broken.

The choice on which insurance company to trust with helping protect your family or business should include more than just the amount of you pay each month. The cheapest price on insurance does not always (or even usually) provide the most comprehensive coverage for your home, auto, or business. We would love an opportunity to have a meaningful conversation with you about all your insurance needs, and to show you why we think State Farm provides a tremendous value for your insurance dollars.

If you have loved ones in your life who depend on your income, you really need to have enough life insurance! We would love to talk to you about your specific needs, and to help you acquire the coverage needed to give both you and your loved ones the assurance you all deserve....

"Insurance does not prevent accidents, but rather gives a secure base from which to face their consequences." Philip Yancey

We would love to interview with you and your family for the position of Insurance Agent and Financial Services provider!

What does that mean for you and your family or small business?

Finally, after many months of struggling through tornadoes and viruses, we are starting to get back to normal around here. So, for those of you who have always preferred to do business face to face, we welcome you to start coming back to the office any time. We will certainly still be glad to offer "curb service," but we no longer have the front door secured. Feel free to come in to transact your business and stay and catch up if you like.

OUR MISSION:

The decision on who to do business with us a very important one, and we know that our customers take that decision very seriously. So, when you and your family make the choice to hire us as your insurance agent, we embrace that responsibility.  With well over 150 years of experience, the members of our licensed staff have the knowledge to evaluate your family's needs and recommend the most appropriate coverage options to meet your specific needs. In many cases, this is as simple as taking a few minutes to go over policy coverage, just to verify that we're all on the same page. Other times, the situation requires a more in-depth discussion. No matter how long it takes, we want to make 100% sure our customers understand exactly what they have, and that there will be NO SURPRISES! 

If you're like most of us, you have questions about your existing coverage; what's covered and what might NOT be covered. We would love an opportunity to visit for a comprehensive review of your personal and business insurance needs.  Call our office at your convenience to schedule a time to get together. We appreciate the opportunity to be of service, and we look forward to meeting you!

It's hard to believe, but I have been with State Farm for over fifty years! I've been with Don for well over twenty years now, and the changes don't appear to be slowing down any at all. Technology has definitely made the job different in some ways, but the basics of the job will never change. The one job we will always have is taking care of our customers insurance and financial needs. When you, your family, or your business has a need that involves insurance, we would love an opportunity to discuss that with you.

The past couple of years have been rough on everyone, but I think we are finally getting to the end of the Covid pandemic. That being said, many families in our communities have really had a difficult time. Health challenges, financial struggles, dealing with the loss of a dear one, there have been many challenges for us all during this season. As we enter this holiday season, let's be aware of the needs of others more than our own. If you know of a family who could use some help, do what you can to help. If you are unable to do so yourself, please let us know so we can do what we can. With a little love and care, we will come through this difficult time stronger!

The past ten years have truly flown by! So much has happened, a much-needed move back to Tennessee, getting engaged in the "family business" for the first time since the very beginning, and a move to a new office when we were just starting to feel at home in the old one. All that being said, the last ten years have been years of growth and maturation, both personally and professionally. When I left home at the tender age of 17, I never dreamed I would be back in Tennessee again, but I sure am glad that I am!!!

Our business is changing on a daily basis, and sometimes it can be a challenge to keep up, especially for "old school" folks like me. Not only does that make it fun, but I also think there are constant opportunities to grow, both professionally and personally. The greatest part of our business is that I get a chance to talk to and meet a bunch of really great folks, and it seems that I learn something new every day. Sometimes the lessons are related to business, and sometimes to relationships.

However, I am blessed every day to have an opportunity to be a part of safeguarding the things that are most important to our customers. Sometimes those things are things, and sometimes they are people. Please call or come by the office to discuss your home or business insurance needs, as well as any vehicle finance needs you might have. I look forward to an opportunity to meet you and your family, and to the opportunity to be of service....
