My Path to Farmers®

Why I Chose Farmers®

I started my insurance journey 25 years ago with the idea of opening my own agency engraved in my mind. In April of 2012, the opportunity I was waiting for presented itself. Farmers Insurance was calling my name, and I couldn’t have been happier. Although Farmers had been around since 1928, and had grown to be one of the leading multiline insurance companies in the industry, they surprisingly had no agencies open in New Jersey. I took this as a sign, and jumped at the opportunity to begin the journey of owning my own agency.

Where it all Began

The idea of owning my own business was implanted in my head at an early age. Watching the growth and success of my father’s small business, and knowing that both of my grandfathers were small business owners as well, created a spark of passion in me that grew as time went on. Coincidentally, my wife and both of her parents own their own businesses as well. As you can see, it definitely runs in the family. The decision to choose Farmers was not a difficult one. With the extensive training they provide, along with the reputation of the company itself, it was nothing but an easy choice.

What I learned Afterwards

Attending the University of Farmers® was a great experience, to say the least. They strive to go above and beyond in educating their agents to help make sure we aren’t just selling our clients products, but that we also help make them smarter about insurance.  The thing I love the most, however, is that the training never really stops. They have a team of people working behind the scenes to help with many of the questions we may have, which I think it a great plus! We have also received great feedback from some of our clients about our wonderful claims department. A customer whose home was severely damaged during Super Storm Sandy told me: “Dave, we feel blessed that we have Farmers…Our neighbors were shocked at how quickly a team from Farmers arrived at our home to take care of everything.” It makes me proud to work for a company that takes care of our customers the way Farmers does.
