Jeff Eckburg

As President of Eckburg & Bates, I can assure you that you will be very pleased with our agency. We insure over 9,000 families and businesses throughout several states. Our agency has an excellent reputation and we'll do everything possible to keep it that way. Most of our business comes from referrals. Usually, it's a customer sending a friend after receiving great treatment after a claim. We may not always have the lowest price in town, but our rates are very competitive. The one guarantee that we can offer is that the companies we represent will pay their claims. Good claims service is the key to our success.

I have been with the agency since 1989, after graduating from Eastern Illinois University. I have been a lifelong Northern Illinois resident. My wife, Kelly, and I currently live in Rockford with our three children, Alexandra (Ali), Adam and Anna.


I serve as an agent for more than 1,500 customers and the list keeps growing. If you are a current customer, thank you for your business. If you are thinking of transferring your business to us, I am 100% confident that you will be very pleased. Our entire staff will work extremely hard to make it one of the best decisions you have ever made.

Scott Eckburg
I am one of the owners of the agency and I can honestly say that you will be pleased with our services. I am a Certified Insurance Counselor (CIC), which is one of the highest professional designations for agents in our industry. I take great pride in knowing that my customers' needs are well served.

I have been an agent with Eckburg & Bates since 1993, after graduating from Colorado State University. It's the only post-college job I have ever had. My wife Nicole and I are lifelong area residents. We have three children, Bella, Driggs, and Truman.

If you are a current client, let me say how much we appreciate your business. If you are considering a switch to our agency, let me say - without hesitation - that you will be very satisfied with your decision.

I have been with Eckburg & Bates since 1988. It is the only job that I have had since graduating from Westmont College in Santa Barbara, CA. I have been a Rockford resident since 1972. My wife, Diane, and I have two daughters, Morgan and Bronwyn.

As one of the three agency owners, I can assure you that my primary focus is on providing the greatest coverage for the most competitive premiums. We represent great companies, which helps to achieve that goal.

I know that you will be very pleased with our agency. I welcome the opportunity to serve you.

Pat Flynn

I have been an agent with Eckburg & Bates since 1994.  My wife, Lisa, and I are lifelong area residents with three very busy children.  We are actively involved in our church and enjoy sand volleyball in the summer and coaching our kids' teams.


After graduating from the University of Illinois in 1992, I taught high school chemistry, biology and physics for two years before coming to work here for the family business.  While working here, I have continued my insurance education through The National Alliance for Insurance Education & Research.  I have been a Certified Insurance Counselor since 2002 and continue to update my education every year with the CIC seminars.

We are an independent agency. Being independent allows us to "shop around" for our clients to ensure that they maintain competitive rates. We also reward our current clients for referring new clients to us. It's just one more way we say "thank you" for doing business with us at Eckburg & Bates.

Ryan Haedt
I have been a member of the Eckburg & Bates team since 2004.

I have been a lifelong area resident. I graduated from Hononegah High School in 1999 and then finished my graduate degree in 2003 at Illinois State University. I was married in 2006 and my wife, Jami, and I live in Rockford. We love it!

Here at Eckburg & Bates we represent over 22 different insurance companies. Most are the large companies that you are very familiar with. Having a strong base to choose from allows us the opportunity to provide you with the greatest coverage at the most competitive premiums.

I am confident if you are thinking of switching your business to us that you will be very pleased and excited about your decision. You truly can't go wrong with Eckburg & Bates Insurance Agency!

Scott Moan
I started with Eckburg & Bates in 2006 after spending four years with Met Life as a life insurance consultant.

Other than a brief stint in Colorado, I have lived in the Rockford area since birth.

We have a special agency and I know that you would be happy switching your business to us. A giant flood hit our area on Labor Day, 2006, and destroyed several hundred vehicles. While some companies were settling claims from as far away as Boston, our carriers were writing checks on the spot. No one ever expects a claim like that to happen, but when it does, you're thankful that you have an excellent insurance company. Companies can advertise on television all they want, but I know first hand how a good insurance company works. I know that you'll be happy being insured with us.
