Scott Simmons

I’ve proudly called Santa Barbara home since I was 10 years old, when my family moved here from Illinois. This community has shaped both my personal life and my career. I’ve been happily married to my wife for 50 years, and together we have three grown children and five wonderful grandchildren. I earned my degree in Business Economics from U.C. Santa Barbara and also attended Santa Barbara College of Law, experiences that continue to inform how I approach helping people plan for the future. I’ve worked in the insurance industry for 40 years, beginning my career with State Farm in 1984 as an agent’s staff member and opening my own agency in 2001. I’m proud to serve the residents of Santa Barbara, Montecito, and surrounding communities including Goleta, Summerland, and Carpinteria. As a surfing enthusiast, I’ve spent countless days traveling up and down the coast and truly appreciate everything our local beaches and coastal lifestyle have to offer. My dedicated team of licensed professionals works closely with each customer to develop a personalized, comprehensive plan for their coverage needs. Life changes over time, and we’re always happy to meet with you to review your policies, suggest adjustments, and make sure your protection continues to align with your goals. With decades of combined experience, my team and I help customers navigate the insurance process and find options that fit their individual situations. For more than 100 years, State Farm has helped customers prepare for and recover from the unexpected, and that commitment continues today. My experienced team and I are here to answer questions and provide guidance across Auto Insurance, Life Insurance, and Health Insurance, along with additional coverage options designed to protect what matters most. We offer policies to support a wide range of needs, including Car Insurance, Pet Insurance, Life Insurance, Earthquake Insurance, and Flood Insurance. Our goal is to be a reliable resource you can turn to for clear information, thoughtful advice, and dependable service. I hope to be your agency of choice and look forward to meeting you and supporting your insurance needs.
