Rick West

As the ASU Guy, I’m proud to serve Tempe, Arizona and the surrounding ASU community with Auto Insurance, Home Insurance, Renters Insurance, Life Insurance, and Business Insurance. I also offer deposit products, CDs, business loans, and credit card options. My office is located on the 10th floor of a glass building at the corner of Rural Road, Loop 202, and across from Arizona State University, making it easy for students, families, and businesses throughout the area to connect with us.

My State Farm journey began in 1985 after a friend encouraged me to join the company in the claims department. After spending five years working alongside agents and seeing the difference they made for policyholders, I knew becoming an agent was the right path for me. I opened my agency in 1990 and now bring more than 41 years of experience across claims, agency operations, management, and customer service. Helping people during important moments in their lives continues to be what motivates me every day.

Before insurance, I was a professional baseball player and became a scout with the Royals organization. I also attended Colby Community College and am an alumnus of the University of Texas at El Paso and the University of New Mexico, where I earned my B.A. Over the years, I’ve been honored with 15 Legion of Honor awards, 6 Ambassador Travel qualifications, 7 Multi-Line Award recognitions, Golden Triangle, Silver Scroll, Bronze Tablet recognition, and Top Life Producer honors. I am also a member of NAIFA and a Notary Public.

Life insurance is one of the most important conversations I have with customers, helping families prepare for the future and protect the people who matter most. Whether you are looking for Auto Insurance, Home Insurance, Renters Insurance, Life Insurance, or Business Insurance, my goal is to provide knowledgeable, professional guidance and personalized support.

Outside the office, family and community are a big part of my life. I have three adult children with successful careers of their own, and I enjoy fishing and with my son Ryan, who also works in my office, golfing when time allows, traveling to new places, and cheering on baseball, basketball, and college sports. I also enjoy watching my daughter, Alyssa play and succeed at Tennis. I am also happy to see my niece, Jessica climbing the State Farm ladder. For many years, I have coached youth and professional baseball outside of business hours and have remained involved with the Santa Fe Fuego organization, St. Andrew’s community, and the ASU Newman Center community.

Our office serves customers throughout Tempe, Scottsdale, Chandler, Mesa, Phoenix, Payson, Prescott, Sedona, and Flagstaff, and even New Mexico. We are happy to assist customers in both English and Spanish. We also offer virtual and at-home appointments. If you stop by the office, you may be greeted by Tony, our friendly office dog, who has become a favorite among customers and visitors alike.
