In three sentences, can you tell us how you got into your line of work?  
I have been in sales all of my professional life.  I knew that State Farm was a great company and I wanted to be a part of their team, helping people protect their assets as well as their lives.  The opportunity to join State Farm and to follow Larry Burton was one that I could not pass up.
 What do you like most about your work, and what do like least?
I love knowing that every day we are helping people in the local community.  We like to say that we help people prepare for their worst day and then stand beside them if and when it happens.
What advice do you have for someone who wants to get into your line of work?
If you like helping others when they need it most, this would be a great company to work for.  Stop by my office and talk to me about the opportunity sometime.
