My agency first had a presence in New Bern in 1974, when my father, Jerry Black, moved me, Mom and my two sisters here to start a new career. I earned my bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of North Carolina Wilmington in 1992, and about six years later, the phone call from Dad came – he decided retirement was nearing. I had known for a long time that I would take over for him, so I obtained my insurance license in preparation to move home and buy the agency, which I did in 2002.



I started out answering billing questions of the phone and developed a true passion for the industry and how insurance is so beneficial when customers have experienced a crisis. I also developed a passion for being involved in my community. I’m a prior board member of the New Bern Area Chamber of Commerce and a diligent supporter of Religious Community Services and Habitat for Humanity, Craven County.



I employ some of the most knowledgeable, helpful, compassionate people who always go above and beyond when providing service. When you are ready to explore options for protecting your home, personal property or financial future I’m available to answer your questions. If you’re already a customer, I’m ready to review your coverage so that you can make any necessary adjustments to fit your changing needs. Call me today, and let’s have a conversation about the seven major risks that affect us all.

Products we offer:

  • Auto Insurance in New Bern

    Close Auto insurance modal

    Helps protect you and your vehicle if you’re involved in a car accident. At a minimum, you’ll likely need bodily injury liability and property damage liability to meet state auto insurance coverage requirements and help protect your finances if you cause an accident that injures another driver or damages their property.

    We also offer uninsured motorist coverage to help with your expenses if you’re hit by a driver without insurance. If you’re looking for coverage to help protect your vehicle, you might want to consider collision coverage and comprehensive coverage, which help pay repair costs if your car is damaged in a covered loss. And, optional coverages, like new car replacement coverage or loan/lease gap coverage help protect your investment in a brand-new car.

    I can help you choose a combination of coverages that fulfill state requirements and meet your needs. Give me a call to get a car insurance quote today!

    Call me today for a homeowners insurance quote and I’ll help you get the protection your home needs and the savings you deserve with our money-saving discounts.

  • Condo Insurance in New Bern

    Close Condo insurance modal

    Helps protect the portion of your condo, co-op or townhome in which you are responsible for (inside structure, permanent fixtures, cabinets, etc.) with dependable coverage.

  • Business Insurance in New Bern

    Close Business insurance modal

    Allstate Business Insurance protects your business in ways other insurance might not. A business owners policy (BOP) usually includes three common types of coverage to help protect you and your small business: property coverage, general liability coverage and business interruption coverage. In addition to these basic coverages, the Allstate Business Owners Policy can be customized with additional protection to help cover more aspects of your business.

    I can help you tailor a policy to fit your small business’s needs. As a small business owner myself, I understand how important it is to protect what you’ve worked so hard to build.

    Call me for a free review of your current business policy and to learn more about insurance solutions to help protect you, your business and your employees.

  • Life Insurance in New Bern

    Close Life insurance modal

    Protect the life you want, for those that matter most. A life insurance policy can help provide financial security for your loved ones by covering expenses like the mortgage, college tuition, and other everyday living costs. Call me today to learn about the different types of coverage Allstate offers.

  • ATV Insurance in New Bern

    Close ATV insurance modal

    Help protect yourself and your all-terrain vehicle against the unexpected. We offer bodily injury liability coverage and property damage liability coverage on your ATV insurance policy. If you injure someone else or damage their property while driving your ATV, liability coverage helps pay the other person’s medical or repair bills.

    If your ATV is damaged in a crash, collision coverage may help. Collision coverage for your ATV helps pay for repairs if you hit another object, such as a fence or a tree. Finally, you may want to consider comprehensive coverage for your ATV in case it’s stolen, vandalized or damaged by hail or fire.

    Give me a call to get a quote on an ATV insurance policy today!

  • Boat Insurance in New Bern

    Close Boat insurance modal

    Helps cover your boat on and off the water. Watercraft liability coverage helps pay for another person’s expenses if you injure them or damage their property with your boat.

Property coverage for your boat helps cover a crash with another boat or object (like a pier or buoy). It also helps cover theft, vandalism or fire. Help protect your boat against these covered perils during the on- and off-season. We also offer additional coverage for things like your boat trailer, fishing equipment and even towing or fuel delivery when you’re stranded. Need a boat insurance quote? Give me a call today!

2018 Business Partner of the Year

This February, I humbly accepted the United Way of Coastal Carolina’s 2018 Business Partner of the Year award. In 2018, I helped coordinate and sponsor the installation of the Born Learning Trail, an interactive outdoor walking trail for early childhood development. In addition, I worked with The Allstate Foundation to help the United Way of Coastal Carolina receive a $2,500 Allstate Helping Hands grant to aid relief work from Hurricane Florence. I look forward to finding new ways to help in our community this year and would like to extend a personal “thank you” to everyone who helped volunteer to make this award possible.
