Bio of Tom

I was born and raised in the New Jersey/New York area. I love the changing of the seasons and being close to New York City. It is the best of both worlds, the city and the country. One day I can hike the Palisades and the next day go to the theater or dine out in the city. It is close to all of my friends and family. Family and service to others is very important to me. I am very active in volunteer work through my church. I am also a huge NFL football fan, an avid reader and a movie buff.

The agency staff has been serving customers for decades. They are friendly, outgoing, good listeners and very knowledgeable. We are in the insurance industry because we love working with and helping people. Our motto at the agency is to help protect what matters most to customers. We believe treating people courteously and honestly is the only way to do business. Whether you need help protecting auto, home, life or retirement, we are here to help.

Who's Tyler Jack Harris?

Tyler has sold over 8,000 life insurance policies in the last 3.5 years—one on one, face to face. These were not group policies administered through payroll. These were not online transactions. This was 200+ nights per year in a hotel, 16+ hour days. This was not easy, but it was necessary – for me to do something that had never been done before, in order to show our agents and show the world what’s possible. In January of 2017 he posted my first piece of content on social media. In the last 12 months, his weekly social media reach has been as high as 49 million. He's the host of two podcasts, a daily and weekly vlog, all while leading two multi-million-dollar insurance agencies. In this highlight reel, filtered, world we now live in on social media, this is where the story usually ends. It is for that very reason that he began documenting my life on social media. To show you the REAL story of what it takes to be successful- the good, bad, and ugly.

Details in Allstate Website

I’ve gotten to know many local families as an Allstate agent in San Antonio. I enjoy being a part of the community, and building local relationships is one of the best parts of my job. I know what life is like here in San Antonio – that you choose your car and your home to fit your lifestyle and your budget. I also know how important it is to do the same when it comes to insurance. I look forward to getting to know you and helping you to find the solutions that meet your needs.


Part of what I like best about my job is that I can offer customers options for a wide variety of coverage and services. You can depend on me to help you look at the big picture.

The Insurance Dudes are on a mission to find the best insurance agents around the country to find out how they are creating some of the top agencies. But they do not stop there, they also bring professionals from other industries for insights that can help agents take their agencies to the next level. 

The Insurance Dudes focus on your agency’s four pillars: Hiring, Training, Marketing and Motivation! We have to keep the sword sharp if we want our agencies to thrive. 

Insurance Dudes are leaders in their home, at their office and in their community. This podcast will keep you on track with like minded high performing agents while keeping entertained!

About Jason and Craig:

Both agents themselves, they both have scaled to around $10 million in premium.  After searching for years for a system to create predictability in their agencies, they developed the Telefunnel after their interviews with so many agents and business leaders.  

Taking several years, tons of trial and error, and hundreds of thousands of dollars on lead spend, they’ve optimized their agencies and teams to write tons of premium, consistently, and nearly on autopilot!

Bio of  Steve Hovland:

Welcome to the Hovland agency! My name is Steve and I am the agency owner. I originally hail from Riverside, and have lived in the Chula Vista area since 1987. I attended Riverside Poly High School in my youth and graduated in 1986 from Cal Poly, Pomona. I began working as a Life Insurance Specialist in 1994 and then opened my own agency in 2003. When I'm not at the agency I enjoy surfing, snow skiing, mountain biking and play golf. I am also a big motorsports fan and what some may consider to be a "wannabe Grand Prix Driver."


I also love giving back to the community by getting involved. I have been involved in Challenger Baseball and Sports for Exceptional Athletes for over 20 years. I also volunteer for various free medical clinics including CDA Cares (California Dental Assoc.) and California CareForce that offer free dental, medical and vision care for less fortunate. It's a great feeling to help those in need and I enjoy the opportunity to interact with so many different types of people.


One of my favorite things about being an Allstate agent is the friendships I have formed over the years. I have laughed and cried with many customers and it brings me so much joy knowing how important our conversations are. My agency specializes in Auto, Home, and Life insurance and we'd really appreciate the chance to see what we can do to help you. We are fluent in English and Spanish to serve you in your preferred language. Please, stop by the agency or give us a call next time you're thinking about insurance.

It's a great feeling to help those in need and I enjoy the opportunity to interact with so many different types of people.


One of my favorite things about being an Allstate agent is the friendships I have formed over the years. I have laughed and cried with many customers and it brings me so much joy knowing how important our conversations are. My agency specializes in Auto, Home, and Life insurance and we'd really appreciate the chance to see what we can do to help you. We are fluent in English and Spanish to serve you in your preferred language. Please, stop by the agency or give us a call next time you're thinking about insurance.

Bio of Rhiannon Ward 

I’ve been in the insurance industry since 2003 and purchased this Tucson agency in 2010. I was born and raised here, moved to Washington for 12 years and eventually came back to my hometown. I love Tucson and couldn’t think of a better place to raise a family and grow my business. We have the best food in the country and arguably the best views. One of my favorites is the beautiful Sabino Canyon Recreation Area.

Growing up in Tucson, I know this community well. The city is important to me and being involved is one of my top priorities. My agency helps raise money for our beloved community through the Allstate Foundation Helping Hands grant. My agency looks to be a force for good wherever assistance is needed!

As an agency, we set ourselves apart by continuing to do what we do best – offering outstanding customer service. Helping customers efficiently manage everyday risk will remain our primary concern. I try to help each customer understand insurance, so they can choose coverage that suits their needs best. Additionally, I love meeting someone and helping them discover gaps in insurance.

I've represented Allstate since 2003 and purchased this Tucson agency in 2010. I was born and raised here, moved to the Tri Cities for 12 years and eventually came back to my hometown. I love Tucson and couldn't think of a better place to raise a family and grow my business. We have the best food in the country and arguably the best views. One of my favorites is the beautiful Sabino Canyon Recreation Area. Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Grant, our three children, cooking and r
