Happy New Year to All!

If you would like an auto insurance quote, please call/text or email us. My team and I are ready to help you.

My father’s name was Richard Kistner and in 1955, he became a State Farm Agent. This was long before computers and cellphones! I became an Agent in 1991 and am proud to say that we have been helping many of the same families and business owners for over 70 years!

My team consists of my sister Denise Lewis, and my nephew, Billy Lewis. Denise worked for our Dad until his retirement in June 1991 and joined my team when I was appointed in December of that year. Billy joined us in 2017, adding another generation of family to the business.

Much has changed in how business gets done, but what has not changed is our commitment to helping our customers.
