Chris LeBlanc chris@leblancfamilyinsurance.com - Manager - grew up in the Edmond Community. He went to school at Edmond Memorial High School and graduated in 1992. He was a standout basketball player that eventually landed a scholarship to attend Texas A&M University. After finishing his basketball career, he came back to the University of Central Oklahoma to complete his degree in Business Management. He married his high school sweetheart Jeannie Alexander and now they have two beautiful children: Kamber and Korbyn. Upon graduating, Chris started an insurance agency in Norman. He was a captive agent with Farmers Insurance Group. After working with Farmers for 5 years, Chris decided to sell his agency in Norman and start an independant agency in Edmond. He was given a chance to be back home, in the communicaty he grew up in. Chris has had his independent agency since 2002. One of the main reasons Chris left Farmers was not having the best rates possible for his clients. As an independent agent, Chris is able to move clients to different companies if one becomes uncompetitive or experiences a rate increase. This is what created the slogan "We'll Shop The Best Rate For You." This is what gives independent agents a competitive advantage over the competition (Farmers, State Farm, Allstate, & others). So if you want a great rate with outstanding service keep the LeBlanc Family Insurance in mind.

Now 35 years later, Doug has built one of the most successful district manager operations in the Farmers Insurance organization with 33 Agency Owners in 25 office locations throughout the metropolitan Portland area. Doug is proud that he has qualified for a number of awards in the Farmers organization including 5 prestigious President's Council selections.
