About Me

The Buddy Davenport State Farm office has proudly serviced the people of New Smyrna Beach, Edgewater, Oak Hill, Port Orange, Daytona, and all of Florida with their insurance needs since 1975. I moved to the area shortly after graduating from the University of Arkansas in 1974 and have been driven to help our community thrive ever since. I first knew I wanted to work in insurance when my State Farm agent visited the jewelry store I was working at on a motorcycle while wearing the classic State Farm red polo. I began by going door-to-door and hustled to earn the trust and respect of my customers and community alike.

 46 years later, I am proud to say my team has hundreds of years of combined experience and can assist you with everything from Auto Insurance to Life Insurance, Boat Insurance, and more! We are all passionate advocates for our community and immerse ourselves in several local organizations, non-profits, and events throughout the year. I personally have been involved in over twenty different local organizations and community projects throughout the years.

 I am the co-founder of the Margarita Ball Society of Volusia County, which has raised over $4 million in toys for children in Volusia County over a 32-year period. I also sponsored and put together the “Worlds Miniature Golf” Tournament in New Smyrna Beach, built a cafeteria kitchen to feed 450 children at the Burns Science and Technology Charter School, and have qualified for numerous State Farm awards including President’s Club, Ambassador Travel, and Chairman’s Circle.

 In my free time, I focus my efforts on supporting a number of local organizations including the New Smyrna Beach Chamber of Commerce, National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors, New Smyrna Beach Board of Realtors, New Smyrna Beach Kiwanis, and act as the Volusia County Commissioner for the Florida Inland Navigation District (F.I.N.D.).
