Hello and welcome to our virtual office. We are delighted to have you here.

As we step into a new year, it’s the perfect time to reflect on your insurance coverage and ensure it aligns with your current needs. Life changes—whether it’s a new home, a growing family, or updates to your vehicle—can impact the protection you need. Reviewing your policies regularly helps make sure you’re not underinsured or paying for coverage you no longer require. My goal as your State Farm agent in Altoona is to help you enter the year confident and protected.

Making a New Year's resolution to review your insurance is a smart way to safeguard your future. Together, we can assess your auto, home, renters, and life insurance policies to identify any gaps or opportunities for savings. By staying proactive, you can avoid surprises down the road knowing you have the right coverage in place.

We are here to guide you through every step of the process and answer any questions you may have. Let’s work together to make sure your insurance policies are up to date so you can focus on what matters most, living your life to the fullest in 2026 and beyond!

Our team is enthusiastic about helping you safeguard your assets. Whether you're looking to protect your home, vehicle, or your loved ones, we're here to guide you in finding personalized coverage that meets your needs. Feel free to reach out to our office today for a quote on any of our insurance products, including Auto, Life, Home, Renters, Small Business, and Health Insurance.

We serve residents in Eastern Polk County and beyond, encompassing Altoona, Bondurant, Pleasant Hill, Colfax, Mitchellville, and the greater Des Moines area. Our State Farm office is dedicated to meeting the insurance needs of our community. Whether you're a longtime Iowa resident or new to the area, we're here to help you navigate insurance requirements.

My journey with State Farm began in May 1988, initially as a State Farm Claims representative, and then becoming an agent in 1999. Altoona has been my family's home for 28 years, and we take immense pride in being active members of this community. Come and experience why we're regarded as a leading insurance office in Eastern Polk County. Whether you prefer visiting our office or reaching out with a quick call, we're delighted to assist you!
