About Me:
I am excited for the opportunity to serve Amherst, Ohio, Lorain County, and the surrounding communities as a local State Farm agent. If you are looking for an insurance agent in Amherst, OH who values you as a person, takes time to understand your needs, and helps educate you on your options, my team is ready to help. We proudly assist individuals, families, and business owners with auto insurance, home insurance, renters' insurance, life insurance, business insurance, and financial services.
I grew up in the close-knit community of Willard, Ohio, where I learned the value of hard work, serving others, and being part of a strong community. My father taught me dedication through his example of leaving for work every day before the sun came up. My mother taught me compassion through her work as a hospice nurse. And my hometown showed me how important it is to support others through volunteering, coaching, and simply being present.
After high school, I attended Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee, where I studied Business Administration. I also attended U.S. Army Basic Training at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, and later served twelve years in the Army Reserves, including a deployment to Iraq in 2003. As a Non-Commissioned Officer, I learned leadership, discipline, and how to stay focused on serving others. I also had the privilege of serving as director of the Willard Hope Center, where we provided after-school programs for local youth.
My career with State Farm began about a decade ago when during a meeting with my local agent. What started as a conversation became an opportunity to serve people in a meaningful way. Since then, I have helped individuals and families protect themselves from the risks of everyday life and work toward their financial goals.
My wife, Sandy, and I have been married for twenty-five years, and we have three children: Richard, Jacob, and Ashley. This summer has been an exciting season for the Hamons family as Ashley as graduated from college and married to our new son-in-law, Joel. When I am not in the office, I enjoy hiking, kayaking, yard work, and watching my favorite teams play.
