Sam Winter

Welcome to Sam Winter State Farm, where we’ve proudly served the Phoenix area for over 35 years. Our office supports the communities of Ahwatukee, Chandler, Tempe, Scottsdale, and beyond, offering guidance and support across all stages of life. As a long-time agent and a long-time Arizona resident, I understand how important it is to have insurance that keeps up with the seasons—both the weather and the seasons of life.

Summers in Phoenix arrive fast and hit hard. Triple-digit temperatures, long road trips, and monsoon season all bring shifting challenges, especially when it comes to protecting your vehicle. That’s why this time of year is one of the most important moments to review your auto insurance. Whether you’re preparing for travel, driving in extreme heat, or want to be sure you're covered in the event of an accident or theft, my team and I are here to walk you through it. We've helped drivers across Arizona navigate coverage that fits both the road ahead and the environment we live in.

Homeowners in the Valley face a unique set of seasonal concerns—from overworked cooling systems to wind and water damage. We work closely with individuals and families to make sure their homeowners insurance reflects the real conditions they live with, not just a checklist on a policy. If you're renting, we also offer renters insurance that helps protect your belongings and meets the requirements many landlords now expect. Whether you own or rent, your coverage should protect more than just your walls—it should support the life you’re building inside.

We take special care in helping our customers understand life insurance, which often goes overlooked until it’s urgently needed. We believe in having real conversations—never pressure—about how life insurance can support your loved ones during difficult times. Whether you're raising kids, supporting a partner, or managing financial responsibilities, we’ll help you understand what each policy can do and how it fits into your overall plans. These are important decisions, and we’ll take the time to get them right.

Our agency also offers coverage for motorcycles, RVs, boats, ATVs, and small business needs. Arizona is made for adventure, and whether you're exploring desert trails or relaxing at the lake, it’s important to know you're protected from the unexpected. For business owners, we’ll help evaluate coverage that supports your day-to-day operations, protects your team, and shields your income.

I originally moved to Phoenix over 40 years ago from Kansas, and I’ve been fortunate to build a life and career here. I graduated from Kansas State University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, and that problem-solving mindset has carried through to my work in insurance. I’m also an active member of the Ahwatukee Chamber of Commerce and Habitat for Humanity, and outside of work, I enjoy mountain biking, RV traveling, and time with my growing family—including my grandkids.

My office is proud to serve the diverse communities that make Phoenix such a special place. We speak Spanish, and our bilingual team is always ready to help you feel at home and informed.
