Tom Cobb - M.S. Agricultural Economics
Growing up on a hay, row crop and cattle operation in Ephrata WA, Tom's primary plan in life was to farm. While in college, he began an internship as a property and casualty insurance producer. After finding success in this field and combining it with his passion for agriculture, livestock and crop production, a job to get through college has evolved into a career. He jokes that "nobody wants to grow up to be an insurance agent. It's a career that finds you." Taking a slight detour after college, he gained some irreplaceable knowledge in agriculture banking as a
Relationship Manager.
Tom and his wife, Stacey, have always desired to become business owners. In 2015 they took the big leap. Since then they have evolved into a full-line independent insurance agency. Tom brings a lifetime of "hands on" farming, a Masters in Agricultural Economics from Texas A&M, a well rounded knowledge of farm finances and experience with both federal and private crop and livestock insurance products to the table.
On the farm is still where you will find him after his office work is complete. He enjoys team roping, developing properties and most importantly helping their four children succeed in various activities. Thanks for reading.

Stacey grew up in Moses Lake WA as the daughter of a veterinarian and seed crop farmer/ag equipment salesman.

Finding an interest in the nutrition side of livestock, she earned a Masters in Ruminant Nutrition from Washington State University.
