Carter Andersen

Hello and welcome to the Carter Andersen State Farm Agent office in Myrtle Creek, OR. I’ve been part of the State Farm family since 1992, beginning my career as an Auto Insurance adjuster before opening my agency here in Myrtle Creek in 1998. For more than two decades, my team and I have been proud to serve South Douglas County, including our Good Neighbors in Tri City, Riddle, Canyonville, and the surrounding areas.

My approach to insurance has always been centered on relationships. We take the time to get to know the people we work with, understand what matters most to them, and help them feel confident in their coverage. Our office offers State Farm’s full range of Insurance services, including Auto Insurance to keep you covered on the road, Homeowners Insurance to help protect your property, and Life Insurance to support the people who matter most to you. We also assist with coverage for RVs, boats, trailers, and other vehicles that are an important part of life here in Oregon, helping make sure your belongings are protected wherever life takes you.

Giving back and staying connected locally has always been important to me. I’ve been an active member of the Myrtle Creek Chamber of Commerce since 1998 and had the honor of serving as Chamber President from 1999 to 2000. Outside of the office, I’m a proud husband, father of three children who were all raised in Myrtle Creek, and grandpa to two wonderful grandchildren. When I have free time, I enjoy reading, fishing, scuba diving, and traveling with my family.

My team and I are here to help and always happy to welcome you into our pet‐friendly office. If you’d like to connect and talk through your insurance needs, we look forward to serving you and your loved ones.
