Jim has served the community of Destin for many years as their trusted State Farm agent, but also a force for good in the community. Jim and, his wife Dottie, moved to Destin in December of 1984, and opened his State Farm agency on January 1st 1985, just the two of them in a tiny office. From this tiny office Jim grew his business, to its current location on Emerald Coast Parkway.

In 1990, Jim was selected as Destin Chamber of Commerce Business Person of the Year, in just five years Jim had become a vital member of the community. As a community leader he has led the Chamber of Commerce as their president, he was a principle member of community business leaders who successfully enacted a tax initiative that funds the Tourist Development Council. He also led the group Penny for our Schools, which spearheaded a tax initiative to funnel money into renovations, and building of new schools in Okaloosa County.

Jim has two other passions in his life beside his commitment to the community, those are his family and his Church. He and Dottie raised their children here in Destin. When the kids were young, Jim could often be seen coaching little league, soccer and supporting them in all their endeavors. Now, you will see him on the sidelines cheering on his grandchildren, as his children raise the next generation here in Destin. Jim spends his down time with his family, running after his grandkids.

On Sundays, Jim is a fixture at the Destin United Church, where he has been a member since moving here in 1984. He is a part of the praise band as a drummer, and he is also one of the founding members of a gospel quartet, New River. He is passionate about music, but his skills as a leader shine through as a member of his Church just like they do in the community. Jim sits on the HELM board of the DUMC as Chairman of the Committee of Trustees.

Jim embodies the phrase “like a good neighbor...”, but what truly sets him apart is his compassion and caring heart. Jim is someone who is steadfast in his commitment to his family, team, customers and community. He radiates generosity and love, and he pours those qualities into everything he does, from running his agency, community engagement, church, and finally to caring for his family.

Jim uses all this experience to give his customers trusted counsel when it comes to their Auto, Home, Business, and Life insurance needs.
