I have been a resident of our beautiful city since the age of 10, when my family relocated to Santa Barbara from Illinois. I have been married to my wife for 49 happy years. I am a father of three grown children, and Grandfather of five. I am a graduate of U.C. Santa Barbara, with a degree in Business Economics and I attended Santa Barbara College of Law.

I have been working in the insurance industry for 40 years. I started my career with State Farm in 1984 as an agent’s staff member, and opened my own agency in 2001. I’m proud to serve the residents of Santa Barbara, Montecito and the surrounding areas of Goleta, Summerland and Carpinteria. As a surfing enthusiast, I have been up and down the coast many times and always enjoy all that the local beaches have to offer.

My dedicated team of licensed professionals will work with you to develop a personalized and comprehensive plan for all of your coverage needs. We know life changes from time to time, and we will be happy to meet with you to update any of your coverages and make suggestions that will keep up with your needs. My team and I have many years of experience helping our customers navigate the complexities of the insurance world and finding the right individual fit.

Over 100 years, State Farm has been there to help our customers prepare for and recover from the unexpected. This past year was no different. We helped customers recover from another year of catastrophic events and the life insurance companies continued to be there for our customers,” said Senior Vice President, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer Jon Farney.

I have been in the insurance industry for 23 of my 65 years, in Santa Barbara since 1966. In that time, I have had the opportunity to forge many long-term relationships and have many that I consider close friends. I enjoy interacting with the persons of my town. I have been married for over 40 years and my wife and I have raised three children and I am very excited to have become a grandfather to twin boys.
