Paul Nelson: Allstate Insurance

My dad always told me, “If you work hard, you can accomplish anything.” I try to emulate his kindness and generosity. I strive to ensure families don’t go hungry through my work with the Prism Food Shelves, Feed My Starving Children and Second Harvest. I also am active in my church and church choir at Mount Olivet Lutheran Church of Plymouth.

My wife, Gail, and I live just five minutes west of Golden Valley with a dog and a couple of cats. We have two college-age daughters. For fun, I like hitting the links, bowling, camping, reading, exercising and brewing my own beer.

With 30 years of experience in insurance under my belt, I’m confident in my ability to answer customers’ questions. When I opened my agency in 2005, I had already spent nearly 20 years working as a claims adjuster and claims manager. I like knowing I can help customers make good decisions and get a good value on insurance policies that help protect them from the risks they face.
