Welcome to Steve Rider State Farm! As a business owner and someone who was born and raised in Ohio, I understand how important it is to make sure that you, your family, and/or your business are appropriately insured so that you can continue on a path to success, even if tragedy comes calling. We are here to help!

About Me: Before launching a career as a State Farm agent in 2018, I was born and raised in northwest Ohio in the small town of Spencerville, Ohio which is in Allen County about two hours northwest of Upper Arlington. After I graduated high school in the Spring of 2006, I began my journey to further my knowledge of the business industry, and in the Spring of 2012, I became a graduate of The Ohio State University obtaining a degree in Business Education. I’ve called Columbus, Ohio my home ever since!

Soon after I graduated from The Ohio State University, I got engaged, and eventually, I married my wife, co-worker, and now a State Farm Insurance Agent herself, Katie Rider in 2013. Together, we now have two beautiful children, Charley and Liam, and two dogs, Carter and Chloe.

Hobbies & Interests: Anybody that knows me, knows that I support all Ohio State athletics. You probably won’t find me in the office on a Saturday during the football season, but you might find me at Ohio Stadium! I am also passionate about business development, officiating, poker, and most importantly, my family.

Office Location: Our office is located in the Henderson Park Offices off West Henderson Rd in Columbus about half of a mile away from Bento Go, Cuco’s Taqueria, City Barbeque, and Jeff Johnson & Co. Conveniently for our team, and for our customers, we are right next to a couple of FedEx and UPS drop-off bins, and the dead giveaway that you know you’ve arrived at our office is that you will likely see a Honda CRV wrapped in State Farm branded vinyl.

Where our office is located, parking is not an issue, so stop by and say hello any time during business hours or schedule an appointment if after hours or the weekend is more appropriate for you.

Community Involvement: I love being involved with our community. I am currently a member of the Columbus Chamber of Commerce. We proudly support or have supported, the Parker Lee Foundation as a Sponsor which promotes charitable groups and local causes to help improve the quality of life for disabled and disadvantaged children in the Central Ohio area. We have also been involved in various Habitat for Humanity events, and I was involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Resume & Awards: My team and I have more than 42 years of experience in the insurance industry through relationship building, networking, and customer service have been awarded State Farm Ambassador Club Level 3, Honor Club, Senior Vice President’s Club, Chairman’s and President's Club. We also have more than 850 Google Reviews with a 5-star rating that I’m very proud of.
