Terry Johnston: Allstate Insurance

One of the things I love most about Moreno Valley was watching it grow from a very small town with few people into a fairly large, resilient community. We rally around the high school and youth sports teams, come together for holiday parades and enjoy many other functions throughout the year.

In addition to my work with the town, I also fundraise for cancer charities and work with the Gold Star Dads of America, which helps families who have lost a loved one in combat or have a family member who is currently on combat deployment. When I’m not at the office, I love spending time with my family. On weekends, my wife of 42 years and I get together with our six kids and 15 grandchildren for breakfast — our two dogs have to stay home, though!

Early in my career with Allstate, I helped a young, self-employed couple choose life insurance coverage. When the unthinkable happened, the benefits of that policy allowed the young woman to continue their business and support their family. Knowing that family would be okay with the help of that life insurance policy is just one reason I love being an Allstate agent. At our agency, we specialize in home, life, auto and commercial insurance. What I’m really proud of is the service we provide customers and that we are able to help in their time of need. We also speak English and Spanish and can work with customers in whichever language they are most comfortable.
