Courtney Morrow attributes her discipline, selfless service, and integrity to her experience in the US Army. She has found that these values seamlessly translate into her career as a State Farm independent contractor agent. "I enlisted in the Army at the age of 19, following in the footsteps of my grandmother and mother. While stationed at Yokota Air Base in Japan, I served as a radio broadcast journalist and produced news stories. During my time in Arlington, VA, I anchored the Army’s flagship newscast where I had the privilege of reporting on the lives of soldiers around the world." After completing her Army enlistment, Courtney received encouragement to accept a team member role for a local State Farm agent. She dedicated five years to this role before venturing out to open her own agent office in 2014. "Being a State Farm agent has given me a sense of purpose and the opportunity to be a valuable member within my community.

"I view my service to both my country and community as an honor and a privilege. After 23 years of service in the U.S. Army, I am proud to continue this commitment as a State Farm agent.” Guided by his parents’ example, State Farm independent contractor agent Irvin Pete prioritizes his life by focusing on faith, family and community. As the youngest of six kids, Irvin’s dedication to helping others reflects a legacy that has been passed down through his family. "Before I learned about renowned military leaders, I was moved by the men in my life who exemplified servant leadership. My father, a WWII veteran, and my late brother, an Army Commissioned Officer and former State Farm agent, were the most inspirational figures who ultimately influenced me to leave a legacy of service. “Being a State Farm agent allows me to embody the seven core values of the Army each day and make a positive difference in the lives of others through service. I find great joy in helping State Farm customers navigate the risks of everyday life, recover from unexpected challenges, and pursue their dreams in all seasons of life. It’s truly a privilege I cherish." Learn more about becoming a State Farm independent contractor agent: https://lnkd.in/giWjAvk9
