Welcome to the Che Henderson State Farm Agency in Yorktown, Virginia!

We proudly serve customers throughout Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, and Washington, DC, with a special focus on the Hampton Roads communities of Yorktown, Newport News, Hampton, Poquoson, Williamsburg, Gloucester, Chesapeake, Norfolk, and Virginia Beach.

Whether you're looking for Auto Insurance, Home Insurance, Life Insurance, Business Insurance, or Health Insurance, my team and I are here to help you understand your options and make informed decisions for the people and things that matter most.

Before becoming a State Farm agent, I worked as an organizational development specialist. After the housing crisis of 2008 and 2009 changed the business landscape, I was introduced to the opportunity to become a State Farm agent and opened my agency on July 1, 2014. As of July 2026, I have 13 years of experience in the industry, including 12 years as a State Farm agent. Building lasting relationships has always been one of my favorite parts of this profession. Some customers stop by simply to pay a bill and catch up, and over the years those conversations have turned into meaningful relationships. We strive to treat every concern, whether it's a claim, billing question, State Farm app support, or policy update, with the same care and attention we would give a family member.

I am a lifelong member of the Yorktown community and a graduate of York High School. I attended Radford University on a four-year soccer scholarship, earning a B.A. in Anthropology with a minor in Spanish, and later earned an M.A. in Human Resource Development from The George Washington University. I also hold my 6 Series, 63 Series, and SIE credentials. In 2013, I was honored to receive a Top Forty Under 40 award. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and am happy to assist customers in either language.

Family and community are a big part of who I am. My wife Megan is a local veterinarian and business owner, and together we have two wonderful children, Rio and Sage. We also share our home with three rescue dogs, Maxine, Carmine, and Merle, along with two fish, Mikey and Jenny. When I'm not in the office, I enjoy golfing, playing soccer and basketball, and following Arsenal in the English Premier League.

Giving back to our community has always been important to me. I am a lifetime supporter of Habitat for Humanity Peninsula & Greater Williamsburg, where I served as a board member from 2008 to 2018 and as Board President from 2014 to 2016. I currently serve as Board Chairman of the Annie Belle Reavis Tuccori Foundation in Newport News, Virginia, and have also served with the Bernadine Franciscan Sisters Foundation and the CIVIC Leadership Institute. Our agency continues to support local nonprofits, veterinary clinics, animal hospitals, and community organizations throughout the area.

Our office has a combined 30 years of experience and is conveniently located on Hampton Highway in Yorktown, across from Donuts on a Stick and near Food Lion. We offer virtual appointments through Good Neighbor Connect, and we're proud to maintain a pet-friendly office environment. While we help customers with a variety of insurance needs, we're especially passionate about Life Insurance because we've seen firsthand how it can help families during some of life's most difficult moments.

My goal is simple: to create an experience where people feel valued, respected, supported, and confident that they have someone they can turn to for information and guidance. If you'd like to discuss your Auto Insurance, Home Insurance, Life Insurance, or other insurance needs, stop by our Yorktown office, give us a call, or reach out for a conversation. We're looking forward to helping you protect what matters most!
