Derek Loadholtz

I have been affiliated with State Farm since 1985 including my time in State Farm Auto Operations and as a State Farm Commercial and Homeowner Claim Adjuster. I hold the Chartered Property and Casualty Underwriter - CPCU, Chartered Financial Consultant - ChFC , and Chartered Life Underwriter - CLU national designations. I'm a member of NAIFA, Suwannee County Chamber of Commerce, and the Rotary Club of Live Oak. I graduated from Jacksonville University with a B.S. in Business Administration. My wife Debra is an integral part of the office team and business operation, she started working at the State Farm regional office in Jacksonville several years before I did.

Our oldest daughter Kaitlyn is a registered nurse in Washington state and our youngest daughter Morgan works in accounting in Valdosta. In addition to our girls we also have "Nala" a 5 lb. Yorkie who thinks she is a 100 lb. Rottweiler.

I enjoy vegetable gardening, fishing in the gulf and keeping my grandfather's 1948 John Deere tractor in working (most of the time) condition. When I have it running I still use it to plant sweet corn and watermelons on his farm which is still in the family. Debra enjoys growing flowers, baking and she will outfish me most of the time.
