Welcome to the Tony Wielt State Farm Insurance Agency!

Life can change in an instant, and having the right protection in place can help make difficult times a little easier for the people you care about most. Whether it's protecting your family with Life Insurance, helping recover after a loss with Home Insurance, or making sure you're covered on the road with Auto Insurance, my team and I are here to help you better understand the risks of everyday life and the options available to help protect what matters most.

I have worked with State Farm for 24 years, including the past 18 years as an agent in Mt. Vernon, and helping people with their insurance and financial service needs is what continues to drive me every day. Our agency serves Jefferson County, Southern Illinois, and the surrounding area, and we are licensed in Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri. Whether you've lived here your entire life or are relocating within the region, we're committed to helping you navigate your insurance needs with confidence.

In an industry where many businesses come and go, we have built lasting relationships through professionalism, consistent service, and a genuine commitment to our customers. My team brings more than 60 years of combined experience in the insurance and financial services industry, and we take pride in providing knowledgeable support for both current and prospective customers. I'm also deeply involved in the community, serving as a Trustee for Rend Lake College and Cedarhurst Center for the Arts, a Foundation Board member for both Rend Lake College and SSM Health, and a past President of the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce. Our agency actively supports local schools, youth programs, nonprofit organizations, and community events throughout the year.

When I'm away from the office, my wife Julie and I enjoy spending time with our two adult children and granddaughter, Marlee. We love being out on the pontoon boat, attending Cardinals and Blues games, and enjoying a round of golf whenever time allows.

You can connect with us by phone, email, text, or by stopping by our office at the corner of 42nd Street and South Water Tower Road in Mt. Vernon, next to Goodwill.

Q: What exactly is renters insurance and how does it work?
