James Thomson: Allstate Insurance We are skilled and trusted guides for our customers, helping them navigate through the complex world of insurance products.

My background is in financial services. I spent my early career in the Allstate Corporate office as a Nationwide Marketing Manager for specialty product lines (motorcycle, boat and recreational vehicles) before purchasing my agency in 2011. I saw this as an opportunity to take the knowledge and experience I had gained from product management and use it to engage customers and help them learn to reach their financial goals, while addressing the risks we face every day. It also gave me a chance to own a business in my neighborhood, to be a part of that local business community and enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that I’m able to help make a difference in people’s lives.
I grew up in Arlington Heights, and my wife, Susan, and I have raised our family here and are proud to be a part of the area. We have three daughters, Rebecca, Elizabeth and Katherine, and now have two grandchildren, Charlotte and James. I love spending time with my family, especially my grandchildren.
I’m currently the president of the Rotary Club of Arlington Heights, an organization of local business owners with the goal of improving the community and world we live in. Some of our projects include awarding $20,000 a year in Arlington Heights Community Grants to nonprofits and partnering with the student groups at Rolling Meadows High School and Prospect High School. I’m also the vice president of the Arlington Heights Historical Society, working to preserve the history of our community. My agency also belongs to the Arlington Heights Chamber of Commerce. Being able to contribute to the development of our community is very meaningful to me. Outside of work, you can find me volunteering at the Farmers Market in the summer or bowling at Beverly Lanes. My favorite past time is reading books about history, leadership and technology.
By virtue of my financial background, I can offer you services to help you learn to prepare your goals, fund college educations and get ready for retirement. I’m also excited to assist with your insurance needs. Call, email or stop by my office so that we can review your needs together.

They doubted the vision. But you know home improvements are expensive.

The upgrades that don’t usually make the feeds are the ones that keep your family safe and comfortable. 🤲

This is what community looks like. We're proud of the Allstaters in Dallas-Fort Worth for showing up in a major way for Genesis Women's Shelter & Support. They packed hundreds of toiletry bags and hosted a food drive to help support women in need on their healing journey.

Our employees' passions become ours. This is why each Allstate employee gets PTO to volunteer their time to causes they care about.

Here is what Jim says about volunteering at :

“Volunteering at the Historical Society gives me the opportunity to be part of the fabric of our community. Our History, present and future has always been in the hands of local community participants. I believe that the time I spend with the Historical Society enhances the experience of our current and future community members while providing me with a personal sense of accomplishment that only serving others can do.”

A big thank you to our volunteer, Jim Thomson for all he does for the Society!
