Bob Simpson

As we start to process of closing out this year and making preparations for the new year, I find that this is a great time of the year to just pause and reflect. It is also a great time to celebrate both the trials and the triumphs of the past year. I have enjoyed one of my greatest periods in my 40 years as a State Farm agent. I had an opportunity to hire and work with my grandson, Robert Simpson, Ill, as a summer intern in my office. He had the opportunity to see, firsthand, the joy and pleasure derived from and what it takes to provide that Good Neighbor Service. He learned a lot this summer about personal lines and business insurance as well pet insurance. (Yes, we insure cats and dogs). I have also had an opportunity to witness the ability of State Farm, as a company, make operational changes to align with the demands created by technological advancements and yet keep that Good Neighbor feel and presence through our local agent's office concept. I still enjoy my daily interactions with policyholders. either in the office or on the phone.

I am a graduate of Morgan State University, a former officer (captain) in the U S Army and worked in the retail industry (Sears), prior to opening my independent State Farm Insurance agency. My leisure time is consumed mostly by golf, participating and volunteering in fraternal, church, civic and community activities. I also enjoy collecting and sampling fine wines.

I have been serving the Memphis, Bartlett, Cordova, Lakeland, Germantown and the surrounding communities for Auto, Homeowners/Renters, Life, Health and Business insurance since 1983. In addition to Tennessee, am licensed in Arkansas , Mississippi. I have been recognized and received many industry awards and citations during this time my as an independent State Farm insurance agent
