ALEX BROWN
State Farm Agent, military veteran
Army veteran Alexander Brown has transitioned to
a much different role since moving to LaGrange in
2019.
Brown, who spent eight years in the army and was
deployed to Afghanistan for nine months in 2014, is now
a State Farm agent. He retired from the army as a captain
in 2019 and moved to LaGrange, where he trained to open
his own State Farm agency.
Since January, the 32-year-old has been serving the community
by selling insurance and giving back in other ways.
“I love being the brightest part of someone’s worst day.
I enjoy helping people understand their auto and homeowner’s
policies as well as helping them save as much
money as they can while remaining protected from the
unexpected,” Brown said. “Talking about life insurance
can sometimes be awkward, but it is important for me
to talk to the community about it. I am honored to assist
our current generation by providing them with life insurance
so that their future generations are better off than we
were.”
Brown was born down the road in Newnan and his family
lived in Peachtree City. He graduated from Kennesaw
State University in 2010 with a bachelor’s degree in criminology.
He also joined the army after graduating from
Kennesaw State’s ROTC program.
His wife of nine years, Jessica, is also a graduate of Kennesaw
State. The couple has three children — 7-year-old
Noah, 3-year-old Annette, and Emma, who is about to
turn one.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Brown said his agency
has done a lot to give back to people on the frontlines.
“We’ve delivered meals to the LaGrange Police Department
and to Hometown Family Medicine to support our
front line individuals,” he said. “I am currently in the
process of donating a new front door for added security to
St. Mark’s Preschool’s Little Lions’ Building.”
Brown said his family is happy to be putting down roots
in LaGrange.
“My family and I love living in LaGrange,” he said.
“From 2010 to 2019, we moved seven times within eight
years, and we are excited to have a long lasting impact on
the community.”
