Todd Barnes

I grew up in Hutchinson, KS but am proud to call Newton, KS my home for the past 15 years. My husband Todd and I have a wonderful daughter Morgan, who is getting ready to graduate from Wichita State University this fall. In the spring through the fall months, you can find my family either watching supercross on television or out at the local races cheering on our favorite riders. I have a passion for the outdoors, including hiking and camping with my family. Cooking is another one of my passions and I am always looking for new recipes to try. I take pride in helping customers with their insurance needs and providing quality customer service.

I was born and raised in Wichita, KS and have been married to my husband Gary for 43 years now. We enjoy spending time with our two children and four grandchildren who are the light of our lives. I have been in the insurance industry for 5 years now and continue to gain experience at State Farm. I have also been working in customer service for 49 years and have enjoyed every bit of it. Positively impacting other people's lives is very important to me and my career has continued to allow me this opportunity.

I am a lifelong resident of Newton, KS and am very involved in the community. My family has long roots in the railroad, as both of my grandfathers, my father and now my husband have worked for AT&SF now known as BNSF railroad. My husband, Bob, and I have two children, both a son and a daughter and one grandchild who often enjoy Sunday brunch at our house. We also have two cats that keep us company. I love learning new things and applying this knowledge throughout life. Gardening is one of the things I am currently focused on learning more about. It has allowed me to dry my own herbs and use them in different recipes that I have committed by memory. Another skill that I am enjoy when not at work, is making my own soaps, lotions and lip balms. I enjoy helping our customers and working with the team here at State Farm. Let me know if I can help with any of your insurance needs.

I grew up in Hillsboro, KS which led me to graduating with a bachelor’s degree from Tabor College in 2018. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family, including hunting, enjoying nature and playing all varieties of games together. I am a big sports fan and enjoy watching football and basketball; as well as making it to games whenever I have the opportunity. The Colts and Michigan Wolverines are my go to teams! I spent the last year in Oklahoma City, OK where I enjoyed making it to OU games whenever possible; although I do not miss the traffic. Coming back to Kansas and working at State Farm has allowed me to grow my experience helping our customers find the most appropriate plans for their needs while offering top-notch customer service.

I was born and raised in Sand Springs, OK. My husband and I have four sons and two daughters together. My youngest, Rebecca, will graduate high school in 2021. I have my associate's degree in paralegal studies, but I am working toward my bachelor's in political science at Regent University. I consider myself a lifelong learner, so I will continue taking new classes in the future, even after completing my current bachelor’s degree. My passion is reading, specifically biblical study. I enjoy taking the scriptures back to the Hebrew language, Chaldee, and also to Greek to better understand them. Gardening and wild plant identification are some of the other things I enjoy doing in my spare time. When I’m not involved with my home life, I enjoy working here at State Farm. It has allowed me to interact personally with people, get to know customers and help meet their insurance needs.
