Byron State Farm Ribbon Cutting Held Aug. 13
The official ribbon cutting for the new State Farm office in Byron was held Aug. 13 at 1011 Tompkins Dr. NE Suite 200, in the First Alliance Credit Union building.
The agent is Jacob C. Paulson. Surrounded by friends, city officials, and members of the Byron Area Chamber of Commerce, Jake wielded the big gold scissors to cut the red ribbon.
It’s been a long-time dream of Jake’s to open his own State Farm agency. When the State Farm agent in Kasson - Jana Nawrocki - retired, her book of business was split between the Kasson office and a new Byron agency. Jake jumped at the chance to open the agency, and he has been in the office with Office Manager Jake Melkowski, Account Representative Matthw Armstrong, and Interns Ethan Kramer and Sawyer Markham working steadily to get the agency up and running.
State Farm offers investment services as well as the standard insurance policies for vehicles, homeowners, and businesses, but also for life, long term care, disability, health insurance and Medicare supplements to name a few.
Jake has had a very busy week. On Aug. 8, he and his fiancé Nikole Schmidz were married. She stands to his right in the photo. The two will honeymoon early next year.
