Jason Hertel

I started with Jason’s agency in 2005 and I truly work hard to help people understand their options for insurance and financial services. Because of my extensive knowledge in Auto, Home, Life, and Health insurance, I thoroughly enjoy holding in-depth account reviews with our customers. Many years of experience will ensure your needs are met and that you laugh along the way. I take time to talk with everyone about the importance of Life insurance to protect those we value most. My greatest love is spending time with my accomplished daughter, Allison, whom I raised in Madras and now attends college at The University of Puget Sound. I also enjoy traveling, and reading great books. 

I have been with Jason Hertel State Farm since 2012. I am licensed in Auto Insurance, Home Insurance, and Renters Insurance. I also have an extensive background in banking and customer service. That being said, my primary role in the office is providing remarkable customer service which includes, billing, claim handling, problem solving and much more. My husband Scott and I are both Madras High School graduates and love our community! We are long time Lions Club members and enjoy serving in Jefferson County. Scott and I also have 4 amazing children who keep us on our toes with many activities & antics. If I can find a few minutes to spare, I enjoy reading, spending time with friends, mixed-media art, and a get-away to the Oregon Coast any chance I can.

I have been with Jason Hertel State Farm since 2014 after graduating from The University of Phoenix. My primary role in the office includes helping existing customers obtain insurance, marketing, and signing up new customers. Many of our customers want help in protecting what is most important to them – Family! Life Insurance is a great way to accomplish this. I am passionate about our local agriculture. I am a 4th generation Madras local and active with the Madras FFA Alumni. My husband, Mikko, and I stay busy outside of the office raising 3 active boys with a love of the outdoors.

I moved to Central Oregon 9 years ago after meeting my wife, Crystal. We now call Madras home. I have been part of  Jason’s team for 2 years and enjoy working with this great group of people. I can do many things for this team, but my primary roles are signing up new customers, and customer service. I am licensed to help with Auto Insurance, Home and Renters Insurance, Business Insurance, as well as Life and Health Insurance. I really enjoy helping people with all of their insurance needs. Insurance can be a complex industry - I can provide great value to our customers by taking whatever time is needed to help them understand what they are buying or already paying for. When I am not helping customers with insurance needs, I enjoy barbequing, working in the yard, and spending time with family. I would enjoy the opportunity to help protect what’s most important to you!

Living in Central Oregon on my family’s cattle ranch for 26 years, I have grown a love for helping those around me. I became part of the team in 2019 and have learned so much about all aspects of insurance and good planning. I enjoy my role as a Customer Service Representative very much as I get to help customers achieve their goals and dreams. I am licensed in Auto Insurance, Home Insurance, Renters Insurance, as well as Business Insurance. I graduated from Western Oregon University with my Bachelors in Mathematics and Biology so I truly enjoy running numbers and giving options to our customers. I have a reputation for cracking jokes as I help customers – I like to keep it fun. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my horses, dog, and nephew.
