Local Service from an Experienced Team

Insurance may come from a large national company, but we believe the service should still feel local.

Blake's team brings more than 50 years of combined insurance experience to the Bend community. Our licensed team members can assist with new quotes, coverages, and changes. In fact, we also have a Spanish-speaking licensed producer available to better serve Spanish-speaking customers in Central Oregon.

Customers can work with us in the way that is most convenient for them - in person at our Bend office, over the phone, by text or email, or through State Farm's online and mobile tools.

• State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company recently gave $5 billion in cash back to qualifying auto customers this summer (2026). This is made possible by State Farm Mutual’s financial strength and as a mutual company, State Farm® is uniquely positioned to deliver value directly to customers rather than shareholders.

• Fall is here in Central Oregon! As temperatures cool and the seasons change, it’s a great time to make sure your insurance is keeping up with life. If this year has brought a new home, new baby, new job, growing family, or other changes, now is a great time to review your life insurance and make sure the people who matter most are protected.

  It’s also a good time to review your home and auto coverage as you prepare for colder weather, put away summer toys, or make other seasonal changes. Give our local State Farm team a call—we’d be happy to help you review your coverage and prepare for the season ahead.
