John Wheeker

I have been with State Farm since 2016. I am proud to serve the residents of Oakland County and the surrounding area, including Washtenaw, Livingston, Wayne, Genesee, Lapeer, St Clair, and Macomb County and to all Michigan Residents. My agency opened its doors on November 1st of 2021 and offer everything from auto insurance to renter’s insurance, life insurance, homeowners insurance, business insurance and more. We also have competitive boat owners and recreational vehicle policies!

I was born and raised in Michigan. I grew up in the Manchester, Michigan area with my 3 siblings. It was there, surrounded by the woods and corn fields, that I learned to love nature and hunting. Throughout my teenage years I learned about the joy of helping people as a Boyscout out of Troop 632 in Tecumseh.

I live in Ypsilanti Michigan now with my girlfriend, (Ashley), our dog, (Ribeye), and our cat, (Angus). In our free time we enjoy exercising, kayaking, trying new restaurants and brewing our own beer. We’ve also recently taken an interest in gardening to grow our own food. In the summer, I also enjoy exploring Michigan’s back-ways on my motorcycle.

Prior to working for State Farm, I spent 7 years working in banking as a loan officer and customer service representative. Most of my time in banking was spent at a Michigan-based Credit Union. During my time in banking, I saw many people who had not received the protection they needed from their insurance agents; I spent many an hour trying to help those people come up with a plan to recover from a loss that could have potentially been avoided. Eventually I decided that I could make a difference by moving into this industry and ensuring that I was providing needs-based risk management to my customers. State Farm has the most trusted name in the industry and we truly strive to live by our mission “to help people manage the risks of everyday life, recover from the unexpected, and realize their dreams.”

I love meeting new people and have a passion for ensuring that each and every customer I work with receives a thorough risk management program to protect themselves and their families from the unexpected. Throughout my time as a State Farm Agent, I have helped over 300 families protect themselves with Life insurance. I also strive to ensure that anyone my office speaks with receives a comprehensive review of their auto insurance and homeowners insurance to ensure that any loss from fire, wind, theft, vandalism, and liability can be properly mitigated by the coverage options they select.

My desire is that John Wheeker State Farm will be able to positively impact the people of New Hudson, Oakland County, and our surrounding communities. We also partner with other local businesses to see New Hudson Flourish! We want to help you in any way we can by protecting what is most important to you.
