Ron Culp

I am the son of a farmer and an outside the home working mother. Our farm was 7 miles outside of Warrensburg MO. I attended first grade through college graduation on the campus of Central Missouri State College which is now called the University of Central Missouri. I was a four-year letterman in football and baseball, recipient of the Vernon Kennedy Award for the outstanding student/athlete.

I was selected to receive the Charno Award for outstanding scholarship, leadership, character, and service. My father always told my brother and me boys you don't want to be a farmer. I took his guidance and after working in management for 8 years for Business Men's Assurance Company. I started my State Farm agency in 1979.
