Jessup Standifer

Agency Owner


I’ve been with Standifer Insurance Group since 2000 and have worn many hats in the company. My tenure and experience has allowed me to not only understand the ins-and-outs of insurance, but also to service hundreds of families regarding their protection needs. I can help you protect the things that are important – your family, home, car, boat and more.


As a small business owner, I understand the importance of building a solid foundation for the future and developing long-lasting customer relationships. That’s why I’m committed to offering you the same level of service I’d expect from my own business dealings. When you leave my office, I hope you’ll feel confident, informed, assured and satisfied in your choices. The way you should feel.

Hello, My name is Myrna, I have been with The Standifer Insurance Group since 2011. I feel like I have been in the insurance world my entire life; because my father and brothers have all sold insurance at one time or another, so it was just a natural transition into my second career, once my 2 children graduated from High School. Even though I wear many hats here at the agency which I truly enjoy, one of my main goals stays the same: to help our customers make sure their insurance needs are met and they are completely satisfied with our services. I have 3 standard poodles: Abby, Bear, and Jackie – who I say are my, “4 legged children that don’t talk back” and their little side kick, Smudge our orange rescue cat. My favorite vacation place is anywhere at the beach and my dream is to travel to Thailand and Italy, hopefully within the next 5 years. If at any time you are not completely satisfied with our agency, please contact me directly so I can help you get the situation taken care of.Director of Operations

Chris Seeds

I am a father of 2 and a grandfather of 4. I have been in the Insurance field for at least 10 yrs. 7 of those were in management. I felt that joining the Standifer Group was a good decision because they are established in the community and I saw how they cared for their clients as if they are family. When something unexpected happens in life it’s good that someone is just a phone call away who cares.


When I’m not at work or playing with grandkids, my wife and I have our own ministry. We have been in ministry for at least 17 years helping others. This last year we started our own here locally. We do speaking and personal counseling.

Chuck Streets

Inside Sales and Commercial Agent


Email: cstreets@allstate.com


I grew up in Bluff Park in Hoover, Alabama, and went to Berry High School.  I attended Samford University and graduated from the University of Montevallo with a communication degree.  

I love helping small business owners save money on commercial auto, general liability, and workers comp insurance policies.  Often, I can also bundle those business owners' home and auto policies and save them money on their motorhomes, boats, ATVs, and rental properties! I love getting to know each of my customers and am always just a text or phone call away.

Besides work, I'm a part-time music pastor at McCalla Bible Church and love telling everyone how much God loves them! I've played piano by ear since I was 5 years old and often head straight to the piano when I get home from work each evening.

My favorite way to spend a weekend is being anywhere with my wife and children, getting outdoors, having a great meal, reading a good book, and listening to sermons from many great preachers.

I am passionate about supporting Truth For Life, CRU, McCalla Bible Church, and Children's Hospital of Alabama.

For all your business insurance needs, give me a call today at 205-664-3200 ext. 109.

Doug Stevenson

Licensed Inside Sales Agent


Email: dstevenson1@allstate.com


I grew up in the suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts. When I was 19, I joined the United States Army. I've been in the insurance business for about two years now. What excites me about an insurance career, compared to some of the other jobs I've had, is that what I'm doing matters. The services and products I provide help protect what is important to people in their times of need, and if I end up saving them some money along the way, that's even better. 

When I'm not working, you might find me playing cards with my friends or in the backyard grilling. For all your business insurance needs, give me a call today at 205-664-3200.
