State Farm® Insurance Agent Bobby Hyatt

I love adventure. Life is just a series of adventures cobbled together. We can choose how we want to experience those adventures and when to start new ones. Sometimes you choose the adventure and sometimes the adventure chooses you.

That's how I ended up in South Texas.

Fort Collins, Colorado, was one of the greatest places in the world to grow up. Attending Colorado State University was icing on the cake. Even with all the beauty and fun Colorado offered, by the end of college, I was restless and ready to strike out on my own. So, I did what any well-adjusted young man does: I moved to a new city where I didn't know a soul—Corpus Christi, Texas.

I taught high school math for 5 years between Corpus Christi and Waco (that's another story). Algebra 1, Calculus, and even Personal Finance. In the summers, I traveled, bummed it at the beach, and went back to the mountains. In Waco, I was lucky enough to convince a brilliant girl to marry me. While I couldn't have really asked for anything more as a lifestyle, professionally teaching was always sort of a backup plan.

So, in 2018, I made three really great choices. 1) We bought our first house 2) I dropped out of my master's program to be a principal 3) I quit teaching at the end of the year (without a new job lined up). You can imagine how enthused my parents were. Nonetheless, I had a fair idea of what I wanted next. I wanted to own my own business, be involved in the community, have a team, and do something that the analytical part of my brain would enjoy. Later that year, a State Farm opportunity came across my path, and it checked all my boxes.

I opened my agency in 2019 in Corpus Christi. This portion of my adventure has been the hardest and the most rewarding. I look forward to continuing to serve the Corpus Christi community for years to come. If there is ever anything I can do to help, please reach out.
