Scott Trautman

My wife Jamin and I moved to Spirit Lake, IA and opened the doors to the Trautman Agency in August of 2008. Twelve years later we continue to love not only the insurance and financial services business we operate, but also raising our four children including Carter (11), Kaitlyn (9), Creighton (4) and Kennedy (3) in a small Iowa town with LOTS of big town amenities.

Working for State Farm, the country's top auto insurer, has allowed us to get involved in our community and meet many great people. Giving back to our community is a priority for Jamin and I. I've spent time volunteering in many ways including:

• Spirit Lake Community School District (Board member since 2014)

• Spirit Lake Noon Kiwanis (Member since 2008 and past president)

• Volunteer coach for athletic teams (too many to list)

• Knights of Columbus

• Assist in local Lunch 4 Kids program

At the office I enjoy the daily conversations we get to have with our customers. Whether that involves auto, home or life insurance or any financial conversation, being a resource and understanding customer needs is why I go to work each day. While helping people with their insurance and financial needs we have qualified for numerous State Farm accolades including:

• Chairman's Circle (7 times)

• Ambassador Travel (all 11 years)

In the end, this business is about the people in it including my family, my team members, our community and our customers . We hope you'll join us if you haven't already!
