Shana Nelson - State Farm Insurance Agent We are here to help. It’s hard to believe I have been a State Farm Insurance Agent since 1999! I have worked with State Farm since 1998. So, why wait?

We welcome you to explore our growing and experienced team in our boutique Full-service insurance agency in CALIFORNIA, ARIZONA, NEVADA and OREGON since 1999, and prior claims experience with State Farm since 1998. My passion for serving my customers and my community is the same as it was when I first opened my doors. My dad is also a State Farm Agent, so I grew up believing in this company’s values and it’s an honor to live with them every day. I spent my first few years in claims in New Mexico, started my agency in Nevada, and finally put down roots here in Silicon Valley. I’m dedicated to building strong relationships with this community and helping every customer with a plan that fits their life. My friendly, experienced team and I will always take the time to sit down with you and make sure you understand exactly what you need. That’s the kind of good neighbor mentality my dad taught me, and one I have passed on to everyone who works here. I bring that same mentality to supporting my community. I’m active with the Mountain View and Cupertino Chambers of Commerce and serve on the board for the Fire Safe Council for Santa Clara County. I also love supporting our local schools and many local organizations, including Cops and Gobblers—a police league that supports local families in need over the Thanksgiving Holiday. Community involvement is a huge part of who I am—both personally and professionally. I’m a graduate of Leadership Mountain View and an active member of the Mountain View, Saratoga, and Cupertino Chambers of Commerce. For nine years, I served on the Downtown Advisory Board for Downtown Mountain View and continue to serve on the board and as an advisor for the Santa Clara County Fire Safe Council, helping communities across the county achieve their Firewise designations. I’m also a longtime volunteer and coach with Los Gatos Little League and actively support LGUSD and Los Gatos High School through volunteering and contributions to music, theater, tennis, and events like the Color Run and Project Cornerstone. I enjoy giving back through programs like RESA, the brush chipping program, and as a proud member of ProVisors (MTV1). At our agency, we're not your average insurance provider.

Happy to donate annual NFPA kits to one of the many local stations, thank you CalFire heroes!!

I looked up and it was a truck full of Cal Fire heroes.

Quick stop at Summit Store in Los Gatos. In and out. That was the plan.

Then I saw them and thought: don’t overthink it. Just walk over, say thank you, and do something useful.

So I did.

I handed off free NFPA fire safety kits loaded with banners and practical resources, the kind that actually gets used when people are deciding whether they’re “ready” or just “hoping.”

And it hit me: most communities don’t have a fire safety problem.

They have a last-minute problem.

We wait until the smoke shows up to start making a plan.

We wait until the winds kick up to think about defensible space.

We wait until evacuation orders to find the documents we “put somewhere safe.”

If you’re in California: please don’t wait.

Do one small thing today that makes tomorrow easier.
