Shout out to Weber's Cider Mill Farm for finding safe ways to allow family fun! I regret offering Camden a sip of my apple cider slushy because he crushed it! Have you visited Webers yet this season?
Yesterday may have been National Coffee Day but I am going to need an extra cup this morning! We spent last night helping our friends at FLO - Friendly Loving Opportunities deliver meals, groceries and toiletries to the homeless community in Baltimore.
Ghandi said “you must be the change you wish to see in the world”. I encourage you all to join me in my mission to support black owned and operated businesses and non-profits. Together we can make a real difference. #4blocksofaction
It’s National Coffee Day! How do you take your coffee? I personally love a fancy Starbucks concoction. #nationalcoffeeday

It's "Support your Chamber of Commerce" day and we are SO proud of the relationship we have formed with our local chapter. Much of it is due in part to this team member, Rita Matthews. Rita has attended more ribbon cuttings, Chamber meetings, meet and mingle cocktail hours and volunteer events than I can count. She is truly a community activist and we thank her for helping our agency to better serve the community and to create meaningful partnerships with other local businesses.
Anniversary #8! 10/20
Your wedding day is the outcome of months and months of planning and years of love. You work so hard to make it a great day for each other and all of your loved ones in attendance.
That’s why on our anniversary we are not just thankful for each other and the family we have created. We are thankful for all of our friends and family as well.
We take the time to reflect on pictures and video. We get sad over the ones we have lost over the past years but smile over the memories that were captured.
We remember that its not just Brandi and I. We are the couple we are because of all of those around us as well.
Happy anniversary to my wife and thank you to our friends and family for their love and support.
There are wonderful leaders within State Farm. I am so thankful for them and their guidance through this journey of helping and protecting others. One of our leaders sent this yummy little gift that we enjoyed at our camping trip. They say chocolate is natures way of making up for Mondays!
What are some of your favorite fall activities? Brandi and I love a fall camping trip as long as it doesn't involve a pop up! #westvirginia
TEAM MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
Justin Favaro - Sales
Justin joined our agency two months ago but has a longer history working for State Farm. He loves insurance because "nobody wants to think about if and when the unexpected happens, but when it does happen, it's a good feeling to be able to help those affected return to normal".
Justin is a super interesting guy! He studied digital media and writing at Loyola University Maryland and did a conservatory at the New York Film Academy for filmmaking. He is a self proclaimed foodie and will try anything once, as long as its not fish. In an office full of food lovers, he fits right in!
Please join me in welcoming Justin to our team!
