Welcome to the Jim Rinehart State Farm Agent office, proudly serving Monterey, CA, and surrounding communities since May 2003! As a resident of the Monterey Peninsula for over 60 years, I understand the unique needs of our coastal community and take pride in using my experience to help my Good Neighbors protect what they love most. We work with lots of individuals, families, and business owners from Monterey and surrounding communities like Marina, Seaside, Salinas, Pacific Grove, Carmel, and Carmel Valley. We also help with relocations, so if you’re moving to the Monterey County area, please reach out and we will be happy to assist!

I grew up on the Monterey Peninsula, attended local schools in Marina and Seaside, and earned my B.S. from San Jose State University and my MBA from Golden Gate University. When I’m not in the office, you might find me cheering on my favorite sports teams, fishing, or spending time with my wife and son.
