When a friend of his who had been trying to get him into the Financial Services business for 12 years joined Farm Bureau, Shane Myers decided it was time to make a change in his career path and started the process to become a licensed agent. Shane takes pride in building lifelong relationships with his clients as a Farm Bureau Financial Services agent. His first priority is to take care of their needs and simplify insurance for them. He is very confident of their products, pricing and most importantly their customer service.

I enjoy golfing, playing Wii with my son and spending time with my family.

Prior to the insurance business, I worked for many years building and remodeling golf courses. I loved all the different places that I got to experience from that.
