I’m originally from Bloomington/Normal area where I grew up on a family run hog farm. I moved to Edwardsville to attend SIUe in the Fall of 2010, graduating in the Spring of 2014. I am an avid football and baseball fan and self-proclaimed DIYer. I love restoring old homes and building furniture for friends and family. I’m an avid golfer (though I won’t be going on tour anytime soon) I love to get out in the fresh air and relax to play some golf. My wife, Katelyn, and I love to go on short weekend trips to take in the sights and sounds of new places we’ve never been before.

My mother having worked for State Farm for 36 years, I knew there was no other company I wanted to work for. After college, I moved to Louisville, Kentucky to start my career with State Farm as a Proximity Claim Specialist handling homeowner’s claims. In my time there I had the opportunity to handle large losses that displaced families from their homes. I have had the joy of being able to deliver the good news and funds to a family so that they know everything is going to be alright. I have also had the unfortunate task of delivering the opposite. My purpose as an agent is to look at current and future customer's lives from a holistic view. When the unexpected happens, they will know without a doubt that they can recover and move forward in life without any disruptions or hardships.

Our mission is to grow our State Farm presence in the Columbia, Water loo, Monroe County, Metro-East and Metro Saint Louis areas. Our customers can look to us for knowledge and compassion in their time of need. They will know based on prior conversations and actions that they are cared for and not just a policy number. Our community is growing at a pace faster than most towns in our region and our office will strive to meet every family’s specific needs.

Our vision for the Tyler Sonka State Farm Agency is to be a main source of information and knowledge for current and prospective customers. With my extensive background in claims, our customers will know the comfort of having an agent who knows what it’s like to have a total loss car accident or a hail damaged roof. Moments after a claim can sometimes feel the most helpless, we will be there to comfort and walk them through every step of the process if/when such an event were to happen.

Our team consists of Tami York, Ginger Crank, Shannon Flowers and Myself. The 4 of us have a combined 50 years of Insurance experience. Whether its new business, an accident or home fire, or just a friendly conversation, our team is here for you!
