James Gowen

I began working for James Gowen State Farm in 2010, and am licensed in auto, home, life, and health.  I bring over 37 years of experience to the team, 34 years representing State Farm. I’m Bama born, but Arkansas raised. I graduated from UCA in 2004 with a BA in Sociology/Psychology. I’m self-motivated, resourceful, people-oriented, and problem solving is my super power.  I enjoy helping people understand insurance and cover the things that are most important to them.  For me, insurance is just like breathing—it comes naturally. I’m blessed to be working with generations of people that love being a part of our State Farm Family.   My world is my three amazing sons, my daughter-in law, and my grandson. 

I have been working for James Gowen State Farm as a licensed Customer Care Team member since January of 2022. At James’ office, I strive every day to provide a great experience for all of our amazing customers. I love what I do because I get to have a positive impact on so many people. I have 8 children, 5 of which are grown, 3 still in school.

My name Is Tracey Snyder, and I’m a small-town girl from Almyra, Arkansas. I’ve been with State Farm for over 15 years. When I started in the insurance business, all I knew was that liability insurance is required by Arkansas Law. I found my purpose in 2008 when I became licensed in Auto, Fire, Life and Health. My goal is to educate customers on the different coverages available and what fits their needs. Protecting your family is just as important to me as protecting mine. I’ve been married to my wonderful husband Kenny since 2008, and I have two grown boys with three grandchildren. I am active in my church, enjoy family gatherings and tending to my yard flowers.

I graduated from Harding University in May of 2022 with a bachelor's degree in finance. A few months later, I began working at James Gowen State Farm. One of my favorite aspects about this career is building relationships with our customers and providing the protection they need. The beginning step in creating a financial plan is providing the necessary coverage for the things you care about. I am proud to be a part of this process. I enjoy the outdoors, fitness, playing board games, and hanging out with friends.

My name is Kassandra Brooks, and I have lived in Arkansas my entire life. I graduated from ASU-Beebe with an Associate Degree in Business. I started working for James Gowen in April of 2022 and found my purpose. As a licensed producer in fire & casualty and life & health, I assist our wonderful State Farm customers with all their coverage needs in any lines of business. My primary focus, however, is to provide awareness of quality life insurance with our highly respected company.

I have been a part of the James Gowen State Farm team since August 2021. My favorite thing about working for State Farm is getting to help others understand insurance and protect the things that they care about. I am blessed to work with such an incredible team, and I love getting to know our wonderful customers. Outside of work, I love to travel, spend time with my family, and play with my dog Luna. Please stop by and say hi! I’m always here to help.

My name is Erick Rodriguez. I was born in Guanajuato, Mexico but raised in Searcy, Arkansas. I began working for James Gowen State Farm in August of 2023. I am licensed in auto, home, life, and health. My favorite thing about my job is being able to create a trustful relationship with customers while providing them with the proper coverage they need. To me there is no better feeling than putting a customer in better position, allowing them to feel comfortable with their coverage, while also providing them with appropriate knowledge about our products. Outside of work I enjoy raising animals, hunting, fishing, and spending quality time with family and friends.

I graduated from Arkansas State University-Beebe with an Associate Degree in Business Science. I enjoy teaching Scuba Diving, being outside, and traveling!
