Happy November! At this time of year my team and I are reminded of how much we are thankful for. We are so thankful every day for our customers that allow us to cover their home, auto, and life insurance needs. Please call, text, or email my office for any of your insurance needs.

I'm Mark McBride and I grew up in Lebanon, MO, and went on to graduate from the University of Missouri in 2003. My journey in the insurance industry began in 2010, where I had the valuable experience of apprenticing for another State Farm agent. I always knew I wanted to build my own business and continue helping individuals and families with their insurance and financial services needs. This aspiration became a reality in January 2017, when I proudly opened the doors to my own State Farm agency right here in Belton.

Outside of the agency, I enjoy playing golf, woodworking, hunting, and fishing. Most importantly, I cherish spending time with my wife and our three children. My passion is helping customers prepare for life's unexpected challenges, offering insurance and financial services. My experienced and licensed team is dedicated to serving the Belton community, extending our support throughout Cass County, Jackson County, and the surrounding areas. We also take pride in partnering with local organizations and supporting important causes that strengthen our community.

I look forward to connecting with you soon to discuss your needs and provide a personalized quote.
