Are you as excited about the beautiful weather here in East Tennessee as we are? The only thing that is more exciting is coming by the office for your favorite drink or coffee to meet with our team and review your coverage to protect what matters most while saving you money!

Josh Ellis State Farm opened the doors in July of 2009. We were one of the fastest growing agencies in the state of Tennessee because we helped make insurance simple for people. We still serve our customers today with the same purpose, explain what coverage they have and why it is important to them now and how it can protect them in the future. We also go the extra mile to let our customers know how special they are to us with every interaction!

One of our favorite things is when our customers come into the office so we can serve them a cup of coffee and take our time answering any and all questions that they may have. This relationship is the basis of how we operate, and it’s also WHY we do things the way we do, because each person is important to us.

Josh is from Florida but has deep family roots in East Tennessee and is so glad that State Farm brought he and his family of 5 here back in 2008. He and his team have been involved at both AL Lotts and Northshore Elementary, where his kids attended. His “young” kids have now grown and are at Tennessee Tech, Bearden High School, and he and his wife Michele still have several years at River's Edge Christian Academy with his youngest son! He’s been very involved in local sports as well as an active member at their church.

Our office has always focused on teamwork! Josh loves to chat with our customers about their life insurance options which help protect their family from the most tragic of events. We also have team members whose only goal is to help new customers understand what makes us different by preparing a custom quote for each person based on their needs. Whether we are talking about auto or car insurance, home or renters, and business insurance, our team always wants you to understand WHAT you are paying for and WHY it's important. The backbone of our office is made up by our service team who are amazing at helping with claims or billing questions, and make sure that you always end up with a smile on your face.

We would love the opportunity for you to experience something different than you expect from an insurance office, because we are SO much more!
