Tom Benisch Jr

I joined State Farm as a claims employee in 1984. My first position at State Farm was estimating vehicles that were damaged; second, I was a claims person for a few years; and third, claims team leader for 7 years. The work I did in claims created a desire within me to become a State Farm agent. In 1996, I took the steps required to be and became a State Farm agent. I celebrated my 41st Year Anniversary with State Farm on October 15, 2025. As of June 1, 2026, we will celebrate our 28th Anniversary as a State Farm Agency.

I attended and graduated from Loyola College in Baltimore in 1984. I attended and graduated from The John Carroll School in Bel Air in 1980.
