At the beginning of 2022 I found myself in a position where I was able to contemplate if what I did for a living truly brought me joy. I had been a construction professional for over a decade and was utterly burned out. My escape plan began with me spending every waking hour outside of my work trying to figure out what I was passionate about, what I was inherently good at, and what industry would allow me to express these things. The conclusion of my self-scrutiny was that I had an affinity for helping and developing people. With emphasis on helping people, so began my journey into the world of insurance. I immediately dropped what I was doing, joined a local State Farm office and began the agency career track process in parallel. Within a few months I completed that process with a single license requirement left and had a relatively decent idea of how an office ran and what I would want mine to look like. What I didn’t account for was an opportunity to work for State Farm itself as an insurance adjuster, a position where I was able to fully utilize my skills as a construction professional and emotionally intelligent artisan. After nearly two years in this position, I still continued to feel that same pull towards something different. I continued on the course until the thought of starting a water mitigation business came to me one day out on the field. I mulled it over for about a week before sharing this crazy idea with my wife. Before I knew it, a yearning conversation in our children’s playroom about starting Staley Restoration began forming into a solid business plan. One thing continued leading to another, and another and another, and after much hard work, our dream of this business came to fruition. From our family to yours, we truly look forward to the opportunity of serving you.
