Allstate Insurance Agent David James, Gulfport, MS

I have been living on the Mississippi Gulf Coast since 1999 and have been associated with Allstate since 1987. My wife, Faye James, is with the Department of Marine Resources. We have two daughters: Rachel, a physician, and Sarah Beth, an actor. Of course, our family wouldn't be complete without our two dogs, Brees and Chloe.

The thing I like most about our community is that the people here are friendly and really care about their neighbors. I enjoy supporting the Gulf Coast through several avenues including local girls’ softball leagues, festivals and family reunions, as well as fundraisers for schools and charities. In addition, I actively support our law enforcement, firefighters, and first responders.

I also support several non-profit organizations throughout the state including the Mississippi Organ Recovery Association, the First Friday Law Enforcement Luncheon, and the Breast Cancer Awareness Walk. I have been a member of the Mississippi State University Alumni Association since 1968.

On the weekends, you can find me fishing, golfing, or watching sports. Some of my other favorite things to do are walking on the beach, hanging out downtown, enjoying our many excellent restaurants, attending festivities at Jones Park, and best of all, driving my 1972 Chevy Blazer during Cruisin’ The Coast.
