We have recently gone back to our "normal" staffing schedule, and boy does it ever feel good! Even though we will have a full staff to take care of your needs, we will still keep the front door locked during business hours. We are still practicing "social distancing" procedures, and we are all wearing our masks when we have customers in the office. For anyone who needs to enter our office to speak with a team member, we will be taking temperatures at the door. If your temperature is at all elevated (greater than 100.4), we will kindly ask you to remain outside. If you enter, we will respectfully require that you wear a mask. If you don't have one, we will provide one for your use which you will take with you.

If you need to make a payment, please call when you arrive and we will be glad to provide "curb service." If you don't need to speak with anyone, you can still drop any payments in the “drop slot” in the door any time 24/7! Please include your payment statement with your payment, so we can process your payment and mail a receipt to you the next business day. If you prefer to make your payment by card, you can always call our office to pay by phone with Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover card, or even by an electronic funds transfer from your account. We would also be honored to set up automatic payments from your account or debit or other card.

Thank you in advance! We will all get through this together….In these incredibly uncertain times, we simply encourage everyone to use their judgment, exercise all reasonable precautions to avoid anyone who is, or has been, sick in recent days or weeks. Most of all, we urge everyone to BE KIND! We must remember that we are all in this together, and that no level of panic or anger is going to have any kind of positive impact. Thank you!

These are temporary, yet necessary, measures! Thank you all for your patience, understanding, and cooperation!

Time sure flies when you're having fun! It seems like only yesterday, but my career with State Farm began in 1979. It has always been my passion to help people, and my career as a State Farm Insurance Agent has allowed me to do just that for over forty-one years! One of the most rewarding parts of my job is helping families recover to "normal" after they have a claim. State Farm takes great pride in providing "second to none" claims service, and we want to be sure there are never any surprises. For this reason, we always take extra time to be sure our customers understand their policies and what they cover, as well as some things that are not covered.

Our team of licensed professionals has well over a hundred years of insurance industry experience, almost all of that with State Farm. The Collegedale and Ooltewah area is a huge part of our team's DNA! We live here, shop here, and play and worship here. We get as involved in our community as we can, and we love being a part of this community. We enjoy doing business the old-fashioned way: face to face! Any time you're in the neighborhood, stop by our office on Little Debbie Parkway and let us show you around and introduce you to the whole team!
