State Farm® Insurance Agent Severn Thomas

Meeting new people and helping families manage risk and achieve their dreams is a large part of my life. My life experiences, however, have been many and varied! I've been a restaurant owner and chef, an archaeologist, a photographer, and a writer. I enjoy competitive cycling, mountain biking, soccer, hiking, and backcountry camping. I spent a month in the North Cascades one summer and climbed Mt. Rainier. As a child, I lived in Denmark for several years and I have traveled to 35 countries...looking forward to more!

I was born in Bloomington, Indiana, and became a State Farm agent in 2013, after working for other State Farm agents in New Mexico and Montana. I was inspired to enter the insurance industry because of a strong desire to bring top-level financial services to working families. Our office is located in the heart of Willamette Valley, but serves all of Oregon. We seek to help customers live confidently every day.

I am a graduate of Michigan State University and New Mexico State University with a B.A. in Political Science and Economics and a Master's degree in Anthropology. I also hold several industry related certifications. I am very involved in my community through the Greater Corvallis Rotary Club, the Philomath Chamber of Commerce, and as a board member for The Philomath Police Foundation and Strengthening Rural Families. My team and I are passionate about giving back to communities in which we live and work.
