About Me

WE WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TAKING TWO MINUTES TO NOMINATE US FOR THIS YEAR'S AWARD. SIMPLY GO TO WWW.BESTOFCHATT.COM, NAVIGATE TO THE "FINANCE" SECTION, THEN NOMINATE US IN THE "NON-HEALTH INSURANCE" CATEGORY. WE WOULD BE HONORED BY YOUR NOMINATIONS, AND WE WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN THE VOTING BEGINS LATER THIS SUMMER.

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 broken things.

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

"The most important things in life are NOT things!"

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!

I have had the honor of working with Don and his team since 2006, and it has been a wonderful adventure. Every day is new and different, and I get an opportunity to meet a lot of really great people. As a result, I sort of get the feeling that I'm part of their family, and that they're a part of ours. This is a very rewarding career, and I am blessed to know that I can make a difference for so many people. Please call me or come by for a visit to discuss your home or auto insurance needs.

I'm so happy to be a part of this team, and I look forward to serving each of you in the very near future. Though I haven't spent most of my adult life in the insurance industry like some of the other team members, I have many years experience in the customer satisfaction business. It is such an honor to be a part of this wonderful local business, and to work with a group of terrific folks, as well as some of the nicest customers I've ever met....

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....
