State Farm® Insurance Agent Jamie Hornbaker

I'm honored to be considered as your Insurance agent and primarily work out of my Topeka Kansas Office. Even through my base is in our Capitol City, our agency serves thousands of families throughout the Sunflower State and even in Missouri. Most of our customers are from Topeka or are one of our community neighbors from surrounding communities like Berryton, Tecumseh, Auburn, Eskridge, Hoyt, Meriden, Perry, Lecompton, Burlingame, Carbondale, Overbrook, Mayetta, Hoyt, Holton, Onaga, or Silver Lake. Although, our reach spreads well into Missouri and to all four Corners in Kansas. We know that once you find a good thing, it's fun to share that, and we love when our customers refer our small business anywhere within our licensed regions.

I've been around the Insurance Block a few years and in August will celebrate my 10th years as a State Farm Agent. I enjoy a lot about my work, but truly enjoy helping others navigate life’s unexpected obstacles, provide assistance in planning for retirement or gaining insurance protections while also saving money.

I grew up on a small farm near Mayetta & attended Royal Valley Schools. I never thought of Insurance as a career option growing up - my childhood career goals centered on writing or law school. I studied Journalism at Washburn University in Topeka Kansas. After graduation, I worked in Public Relations & Marketing at some incredible Topeka nonprofits such as the YWCA and United Way. To some, the career cross-over into insurance seemed like a leap, but I’m a natural leader with an appetite for both learning & helping others. I found agency was the perfect career for me.

I'm a true nerd and embrace it! I actually enjoy reading and understanding policy language and ensuring customers get the most out of their policies - whether auto insurance, homeowners insurance, small business insurance or even life insurance. In the decade since launching my insurance agency, I have scaled my business & grown while staying true to our core service and kindness commitments. Our business formula proved one of success, & we more than tripled the number of Homeowners Insurance & Auto Insurance Policies while garnering prestigious community & industry accolades.

While we are so proud of where we have come, we never stop re-tooling and are always looking for ways to improve. I am proud of the business we have built for our community.

As the insurance agency has grown, so has our team and the products we offer - which is so much more than Auto Insurance and Home Insurance. We employ amazing team members and work together to fulfill our promise to you. In the early days, there was just me and two others in the office. Today, I'm proud to work alongside eight incredible professionals.

Even though I’m a motivated entrepreneur, I’m not all business; I’m a country girl at heart! My husband, Matt, often jokes that you can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl. I am definitely no exception. I grew up outside of Mayetta on a hobby farm and my childhood days often involved helping my dad cut wood, pick up hay or caring for our chickens. I could spent darn to dust outdoors and loved going "cricking."

Today, I still love my time outdoors and enjoy hanging out at our pool with my family. Matt joined the agency last year, which has been a fun adventure for us as we met while working together 18 years ago. Our family includes 2 daughters (Korrie & Quin) and a son (Keaton) along with two dogs, a shar-pei (Theo) and pit-bull (Moose).
