Courtney Morrow

I joined the Army when I was 19 years old as a Public Affairs Broadcaster. Being an Army journalist gave me the chance to travel the world, working with everyone from privates to generals. My military experience taught me how to quickly build connections and uncover the amazing stories people wanted to share.

I met my husband while he was in the Marine Corps and I was still in the Army. I like to say we met the old fashion way - at karaoke. He was from Florida and convinced me to try out life in "The Sunshine State." It was in Florida that I got my start with State Farm. My mother-in-law thought I would be a great fit to join the team where she worked. I went to the interview prepared to turn down the offer, but instead found myself fascinated with the way they were able to engage with their customers and build relationships. I knew from that first time I stepped foot into an agent's office that I wanted to be a State Farm agent. I focused all of my energy into preparing myself for the role: I added a business minor to my college courses, got all of the licensing I needed, then studied under two excellent agents during the five years I spent as a team member.

On January 1, 2014, I realized the dream I had created for myself six years earlier by opening the doors to my very own State Farm agency.

As a local State Farm insurance agent, where everything we do is focused on the customer. Whatever someone’s financial situation, it is my goal to provide the same informed, compassionate service that gets to what matters most so we can:

• Help San Luis Obispo County families set clear goals for the future

• Work together to turn a plan into action

• Personalize car insurance, home insurance, renters insurance, and liability plans to fit the needs of each individual customer

• Help determine accurate life insurance needs unique to each customer

• Help people California residence with farm insurance, ranch insurance, car insurance, renters insurance, home insurance and more

Our team works hard for customers because we understand that discovering that sense of purpose starts internally. We’re always learning from each other—we meet regularly to get up to speed on the latest in insurance and financial services to help keep our competitive edge. A sense of community and camaraderie go hand in hand for me. Outside of work, I stay involved in the Templeton and greater Paso Robles to make a real difference in people's lives.
