Tony Pankey State Farm Insurance Agent

A guy walked up to me at local restaurant where my wife and I were having lunch. He said State Farm was looking for insurance agents. I was a salesman at UP Railroad. They were offering buy-outs to employees to reduce labor cost. We were there to discuss the pros and cons of taking the buy-out. I was actually considering using the buy-out money to open a subway in St Paul, MN before he approached. I became a State Farm agent instead and it is still a good decision.
