Mike Farrell
Owner
With over 20 years in the insurance industry, I’m dedicated to providing personalized, reliable service to help my clients protect what’s most important to them. Having grown up here, I know this area and its community values well, and I’m committed to delivering solutions that are rooted in understanding both the needs and the unique aspects of our region.
My wife, Nikki, and I are proud parents to our three children—Makaila, McPherson, and McCutchen—who keep us busy with sports and community activities. I’m passionate about giving back, whether through volunteer coaching for local youth teams or serving on the board at Midlands Technical College. These roles let me stay actively involved in our community and help foster growth and opportunity for the next generation.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, whether we’re out on the water boating, on the golf course, or traveling to explore new places together. Above all, I value being accessible to my clients—whether it’s a question, a claim, or just checking in, I’m here to ensure you feel supported and secure whenever you need me.
Nikki Farrell
Owner
With over 10 years in the insurance industry, I am passionate about building lasting relationships with clients and helping manage the daily operations of our agency. Originally from out of state, I came to South Carolina for college and fell in love with the area. Now, I've made my roots here with my husband, Mike, and our three wonderful kids—Makaila, McPherson, and McCutchen.
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending summers at Lake Murray, relaxing with a good manicure, catching up with friends, and indulging in a bit of Bravo reality TV. Vacationing with my family is one of my favorite ways to recharge, and building our agency with Mike has been a rewarding journey that allows us to connect with the community and provide the support people need for everyday risks.
Whether I’m meeting new clients or working behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly, I’m dedicated to making our agency a trusted part of your life and a place where your questions and concerns are always heard.

I am a dedicated professional with five years of experience in the insurance industry, specializing in commercial and business insurance at Farrell Insurance. My focus is on helping clients navigate the complexities of risk management and coverage options to ensure their businesses are well-protected.
Originally from Edgefield, South Carolina, I grew up deeply connected to the land, spending much of my life involved in cattle farming and grass-fed beef production. That rural upbringing instilled in me a strong work ethic, resilience, and a deep understanding of resource management—values that I bring to my career every day.

My academic background gave me a solid foundation in scientific principles, which complement my methodical and problem-solving approach to the challenges I face in the insurance industry.
Outside of work, I’m a proud mom to two amazing children who keep my life full and dynamic. In my free time, I love being a passionate sports fan, cheering on the Georgia Bulldogs in football, rooting for the Atlanta Braves in baseball, and supporting NASCAR’s Chase Elliott—my pick for the best driver on the circuit.
