Before opening our State Farm Agency in 1995, Mark spent 10 years working in State Farm fire claims, gaining valuable insight into how coverage works when the unexpected happens. He earned his BA in Business Administration from the University of Iowa, interviewed with State Farm on campus, and has been with this organization ever since. That experience continues to shape how our team works one on one with customers to help them prepare for both the good moments and the challenging ones in life.

Outside of the office, family and community are at the heart of everything we do.

Our insureds are treated like family, and we take pride in creating a welcoming, supportive environment. Stop by for a cup of coffee and experience a little Iowa Nice for yourself.
