As your local State Farm agent and a lifelong resident on Minnesota, I’m proud to protect our community. I was born and raised in Shoreview, MN and now reside in Mahtomedi, MN. I earned my degree in education from Winona State University where I was actively involved in multiple clubs and served as the school mascot! I began working as a State Farm team member in 2015 and instantly knew I wanted to help people with their insurance and financial service needs. I always knew I wanted to open my own business and become an agent. After completing a few years as a team member and growing my knowledge of the industry, I proudly opened my State Farm office in Forest Lake, Minnesota in 2017!

For more than a century State Farm has helped this nation through good times and bad times. We are honored to be a part of such a great company that has provided generations of people with remarkable experiences and are committed to growing our business with that same honesty and integrity.

When I’m not at the office, you can find me spending time with my wife and our three sons. In my free time, I enjoy skiing, hunting, spending time on the boat and getting into new home improvement projects. My family and I also love exploring our Minnesota & Wisconsin state parks and everything else this community has to offer us!

My team of insurance professionals and I are excited for the opportunity to help customers with their insurance and financial services to help prepare them for life’s unexpected. We are ready to help customers find the right policy for their auto insurance, homeowners insurance, renters insurance, life insurance, and more. We’re looking to grow our team with energetic, customer focused individuals, contact us if that’s you! Click, call or come visit us at our Forest Lake, MN office today.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How do I get car insurance quotes?

Quotes are typically based on factors like your vehicle, driving history, and coverage preferences, helping you explore options that fit your needs. Neal works with Forest Lake residents to find coverage that fits.

Q: What kind of insurance do I need for a leased vehicle?

A: Leased vehicles typically require more coverage than the state minimums. In addition to liability insurance, leasing companies usually require comprehensive and collision coverage, and you may need to list the leasing company on your policy as an additional insured or loss payee. In Forest Lake, you can count on Neal for personalized service.

Q: How does a life insurance policy actually function?

Q: Do you have to have home insurance?

A: Homeowners insurance requirements may vary by your state and situation. If you have home financing, your lender will likely require coverage, and many homeowners choose it for added protection. Neal is here to help your Forest Lake household feel covered.

A: Renters insurance can help cover your personal belongings, personal liability, and additional living expenses if your rental becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss. Looking for coverage? Talk with Neal about your options in Forest Lake.
