State Farm® Insurance Agent Jes Richardson

Although not originally from Stark County I am proud to call it my home. I have been in this area officially more than half my life. I attended college at Malone University where my love for the Stark area started. My family consists of my husband, two children, and two dogs. My husband is a police sergeant and my children are active in the local school system. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, boating on Portage Lakes with my in-laws, and exploring local small businesses. I look forward to serving you through the agency, stop in and enjoy a cup of coffee with me!

Growing up in the Stark/Summit County area, I have always had such a strong love for this community. From my first job as a teenager in the Belden Village Mall food court to today, I am so thrilled for the chance to be immersed in the Stark County culture of friendly faces, small businesses, and big dreams! I currently live in the Cleveland area and in my free time, I enjoy gardening, spending weekends kayaking with my friends, and counting the days down to football season. I am so excited for the opportunity to grow with the community that I love serving the people that make it so great!

I grew up in the summit county area where I love spending my days out hiking or going on road trips with my family. My family consists of our 3 children, 2 dogs and 2 cats. In my free time I enjoy shopping unique real estate, golfing and building water features. As a former stark county resident I am happy to be back helping to serve the community with all the great people that live here and all the community has to offer. I look forward to seeing everyone!

Kenny grew up in Canton, Ohio. He graduated from Perry High School in 1986 and joined the US Army shortly thereafter. He served in several combat deployments, including Operation Desert Storm/Shield. He held many jobs in the Army, including Infantryman, Combat Engineer, and Heavy Equipment Mechanic. After being honorably discharged from the Army in 1995, he started his law enforcement career with the Jackson Township Police Department, where he served in the Detective Bureau with the fugitive apprehension team. He also was tasked to conduct undercover narcotic investigations. In 1998, Kenny began his career as a Massillon Police Officer, where he served until August 9, 2022, when he retired at the rank of Sergeant. Kenny came to work at Jes Richardson State Farm, because he wanted to be reunited with his former partner, Agent Jes Richardson. He loves helping people and his job and co-workers at State Farm. He’s looking forward to a very successful second career and is learning daily.
