Tom Cox

Fall and cooler weather is upon us in Champaign - Urbana! Now that the kids are back in school you have more time to focus on other important items like Insurance & Financial Services. 😊 We are here to help make insurance easy to understand so you can make informed decisions. With that in mind, contact us so that we can review your current insurance protections (car, home, life and health) to help make sure your coverage meets your current needs and also review your retirement and financial plans so that you can ensure that your loved ones are secure no matter where life takes you. Contact me so that we can review your current plans, if any, and your current financial needs. (We are also available to meet with customers in person and virtually!)

Let’s be honest. No kid grows up dreaming about helping people protect their future, their hopes and their dreams through insurance protections and helping people plan for their retirement, their financial future and their financial independence through multiple financial service offerings. When it became clear that being a sports star (I’m small) nor an actor were in my future I knew that I needed to pivot to something else. Fortunately, since I have always had a goal of wanting to be of service to others, I was able to fulfill that passion by becoming a State Farm Insurance Agent and Financial Services Representative helping to protect my customers from the unexpected through insurance and in helping them plan for their financial future through financial services. Because of my passion, my office offers everything from basic insurance protections like car insurance, home/renters' insurance and life insurance to more complex issues like business insurance. We also offer personal and business bank products and financial service products for investments, retirement, asset accumulation and wealth management as well as everything in-between. (We want to help you make money on your money!)

I started as a State Farm Insurance Agent in 1977,became a Life Insurance Training Counsel Fellow (LUTCF) in 1989, a Charter Life Underwriter (CLU) in 1992 and a Financial Services Representative with State Farm's Alliances in 2000 and in all of my years of experience a couple of things have become crystal clear: people want to understand what they are getting from their insurance protections AND what they need to do so that their money is making money for them. That’s why we work hard to make sure you know everything your policies and accounts will do for you. I don’t want you to pay for something you don’t need nor to need something and be surprised it’s not covered. My team and I do not conjure up quotes or financial projections from thin air. We spend the time needed to get to know you, we learn what’s important to you and your family, and we go from there to create your "Personal Price Plan" for your insurance needs and help you answer the question; "What do you want your money to do for you"? so that we can help you plan for your financial future, your future retirement and your financial independence.

Whether you just need us to translate confusing insurance jargon, explain a financial statement or if you want a complete Insurance and Financial Services overhaul through a "Simple Conversation", we're here to help. Call or stop by our local office – we can talk, laugh, cry, whatever. We look forward to welcoming you to the Tom Cox State Farm Insurance and Financial Services family.
