Investing in Self, Others

Despite the experience and achievements gained during his professional career, Steve continues to grow and learn professionally. As a member of a study group, he examines the most relevant and up-to-date planning ideas for customers while sharpening his knowledge in the insurance field.

Steve’s goal of being a lifelong learner led him to engage a professional coach to challenge him to take his business to the next level. This coaching has given him the aspiration to coach others. To date, Steve has helped five individuals establish their own businesses with State Farm and hopes to give others the same opportunity in the future. “The key to growth in life is surrounding yourself with the right people and investing in others. I always want to be known as an investor in others,” Steve said. “I’m passionate about life and look forward to continued growth in my business.”

Part of Towne Lake History

Steve began his State Farm journey as an agent on Sept. 1, 1989, when he opened an office on Delk Road in Marietta. In 1992, he relocated to Main Street in Woodstock, to an office across the street from today’s retail shops. With a desire to own a building and establish himself in the Woodstock area, Steve built his current office on the corner of Towne Lake Parkway and Rose Creek Drive. When he opened that location in 1995, he was the second commercial business in the Towne Lake development.

Loyalty to his clients has taken Steve to many community and sporting events, hospitals and funeral homes, and to the scene where catastrophes like fires or tornadoes have devastated his clients. Business is personal for Steve and his team. “The internet has really changed our industry, but I will continue to make relationships a priority, and everything else will fall into place,” he said.

With 90 years of combined experience among the 14-member staff, the Towne Lake office is equipped to give clients the best possible service. Steve aims to meet with his clients every 24-30 months to discuss life and industry changes to ensure they are fully protected.

To be “different on purpose” is the team’s goal in their daily service to all — current or future clients looking for an insurance provider. “I still love what I do every day,” Steve said. “It is very rewarding to help people plan for their future.”
