Jeremiah Essmyer
Jeremiah Essmyer is a Missouri native and graduate of Missouri State University after completing liberal arts study at Truman State University. He held a successful career in hospitality for over 20 years before starting his family. As a parent, husband, and homeowner with unfinished-dreams, learning how to protect his future became and interest to him. Since passing his first exam Jeremiah has been educating families across the Midwest about the one thing we all carry; Insurance.
It is his passion to meet with you, help you grow, and aim to provide peace of mind at an acceptable cost. When clients are faced with unfortunate claim histories he helps guide those families through the years of higher rates and carrier rejections while teaching strategies to better their insurance scores. Understanding that a relationship with Insurance is a marathon and not a sprint is an early key to becoming a smarter consumer.
Because Jeremiah prefers to spend his direct time with clients emailing him is a good way to begin with his Agency. Jessmyer@farmersagent.com
