Born and raised in Nowata and Bartlesville, Austin Brown has deep Oklahoma roots. After graduating from Oklahoma State University with a degree in Animal Science and Business, Austin married his high school sweetheart in 2007. Together, they’re raising two kids, Claire (8) and Grady (10), on their fifth-generation family farm in Nowata. Life is filled with kids, cows, and dogs.

 

As a second-generation State Farm agent, Austin carries forward a family legacy of service. State Farm has led the nation in auto insurance since 1946 and home insurance since 1962. Austin’s teams provide a wide range of services including property and casualty coverage for both personal and commercial needs. They also offer financial services for life, health, and retirement planning.

 

What makes his agency unique is it’s focus on people over policies. “We want to take someone from a transaction to a personal relationship,” Austin explains. His two locations, one in rural Vinita and the other in metro Broken Arrow, blend hard work with a healthy office culture that helps the team connect with customers on a deeper level.

 

Community involvement is also a cornerstone of Austin’s business. His offices actively support the We Street Ice Center, which benefits the Tulsa Oilers along with youth and collegiate hockey programs. He’s also involved with the Broken Arrow Chamber, Rotary, and various local events.

 

Like many businesses, the agency faces challenges in today’s economic climate. Austin and his team work tirelessly to help clients stay within their budgets without sacrificing important coverage. Looking ahead, he’s focused on developing the Broken Arrow office to match the success of his top-performing Vinita office, which consistently ranks within the top 5% of agencies nationwide.

 

When asked for advice, Austin emphasizes the importance of honesty and partnership with your insurance provider: “Nobody uses insurance until they need it. The more information you share with your provider, the better coverage they can give you.”

 

With passion for his clients, pride in his family’s legacy and a vision for growth, Austin Brown and his team are setting the standard for what it means to truly be a neighbor in business and in life.
