Chris Van Horn

Welcome to the Chris Van Horn State Farm Insurance Agency!

In Ashland, the Rogue Valley offers a strong sense of community, plenty of opportunities to connect, and an exceptional quality of life. As your local State Farm agent, I am proud to serve the place I have called home my entire life. Born and raised in Southern Oregon and a graduate of Crater High School, I bring deep local knowledge and a genuine commitment to helping individuals, families, and small businesses protect what matters most. Whether you are reviewing your Auto Insurance, protecting your home with Home Insurance, or preparing for the future with Life Insurance and financial services, my goal is to provide clear guidance so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

Helping people understand insurance and the ways it can support their goals is what motivates me every day. I enjoy assisting new drivers, growing families, homeowners, renters, and business owners as they evaluate coverage options and make sure their protection continues to fit their needs. From setting up Renters Insurance for a new apartment to reviewing Home Insurance after a purchase or refinance, I believe in taking the time to listen, educate, and do the right thing for every customer.

I have spent more than a decade working in a local State Farm office and serving as an agent, along with 16 years managing a local sporting goods company. Those experiences, combined with my ongoing involvement in youth sports programs, have shaped my people-first and community-focused approach. I proudly serve customers throughout Ashland, Phoenix, Talent, and communities across Southern Oregon. I am also able to assist customers in English and hold credentials that allow me to help individuals with financial services conversations and retirement-related needs.

Outside the office, family is at the center of my life. My wife, Tina, and I have two sons and two dogs, Mack and Croby, whose names were inspired by my love of football. When I'm not working with customers, you'll often find me camping, fishing, attending live music events, or following football season.

If you are looking for a local State Farm agent in Ashland, Oregon who values integrity, education, and lasting relationships, my team and I would be honored to help. Contact us today for a personalized review of your Auto Insurance, Home Insurance, Life Insurance, and financial service needs.
