Welcome, May! 🌷 A new month is the perfect time to review your coverage, explore your options, and make sure you’re prepared for what’s ahead. Whether it’s auto, home, business, or life insurance, we’re here to help you find coverage that fits your needs and your budget this season.

Hi, welcome to Scott Nelms Insurance Agency Inc in St Petersburg FL! Since 1989. We proudly serve customers throughout Florida. We are committed to supporting customers across Pinellas County, along with nearby communities, offering a wide variety of State Farm Insurance products. Our offerings include Auto, Home, Renters, Boat, Business, Farm, Recreational Vehicle, Life Insurance, Supplements, and Financial Services. Whether you're new to St Petersburg or have been a longtime resident, we’re here to help you safeguard what matters most.

A little about me: I attended the University of Georgia before transferring to Florida State University where I earned a BS in Business. Have over four decades of insurance experience and have a passion for helping others! Before becoming an agent, I pursued my lifelong dream of becoming a USAF pilot, flying supersonic T-38s and later serving as an Aircraft Commander on KC-135s. After a cold stint at Minot AFB, ND, then I returned to Florida.

I was lucky to become a State Farm Agent in Mt. Dora and later an Agency Manager in Pinellas County, where my team ranked among the top 50 in the U.S. I then transitioned to a "born again agent" role, focusing more on customer interactions rather than travel and meetings.

I am very fortunate to have a fantastic staff! My wife and I live with our many rescue pets and have a passion for supporting no-kill animal shelters and other charities. I am also a Lifetime Member of the VFW and AMVets.

No matter what your situation is, my team and I have one simple goal in mind: to protect your family through all walks of life. Whether buying your first car, moving into your dream home, insuring your life and family, or preparing for your retirement. We will listen and work diligently to implement an insurance and financial services plan to help you protect what matters most. Give us a call or stop by the office today for a free quote. Our mission is to offer personalized coverage tailored to your life—not just a generic policy. Reach out to us or visit our office in St Petersburg for a free quote. We look forward to serving you! We can’t wait to meet you and welcome you to our State Farm family!
