Jake Shockley: Living a 'Big, Big Blessing'

Jake Shockley bleeds purple! Since he was a little boy, growing up in Bonham, Texas, he wanted to be a Warrior. While other kids dreamed of being police officers, firefighters or professional athletes, Jake Shockley just wanted to play sports for Bonham High School. And he did - at a very high level. (He's a member of the Fannin County Sports Hall of Fame). Once he lived his dream of being a Warrior that solidified a love and a pride for his hometown. Jake is now back in Bonham, running the State Farm office that his mom started. He's also giving back to the community that he loves with all his heart. After getting to know Jake Shockley, he might be The Most Interesting Man in Fannin County, but his humility won't let you give him that designation. #bonhamnow
