Farmers Insurance Agent in Draper, UT
Paul P McGarrellPaul McGarrell Insurance Agency IncorporatedAbout Me
I moved to Salt Lake City, Utah when I was 16 from Tacoma, Washington. I moved to Sandy, UT in 1988 and have been here ever since.
I established my agency from scratch in January of 1995. Draper is a growing community that cares about supporting their own and I donāt think I could have picked a better place to open my agency. When I started in the insurance industry it was for survival. I had just been laid off from Mountain Fuel (now Questar) and I had no car (because I had a company truck), a house payment and a family to take care of. I had been searching for positions in the HVAC in the newspaper and not finding anything so what comes after H, I. There was an ad from my district manager that I answered and the rest is history. Now we are the 9th largest Farmers agency in the country. My agency's number one core values are honesty, excellence, accountability, respect, and teamwork. We strive to help each person that walks through our doors and make sure they have the best service possible. Along with Auto, Home, and Life insurance, we also provide Business Insurance and Financial Services to the Draper, UT area.
Being involved in the community is very important to me. I help support many local school programs, including Juan Diego Youth Soccer, Football, Lacrosse, Youth Football and St. John the Baptist Elementary. I also support Primary Childrenās Hospital and the University of Utah Athletes ā Crimson Club Sponsor.
When I am not at work I enjoy spending time with my wife, Judy, my daughter, Chelsy, my son-in-law Joshua, and my two grandchildren, Jameson and Kennedy. I love attending my grandchildrenās extracurricular activities. My grandson plays football and baseball, while my granddaughter plays soccer and dance. I also enjoy water skiing, snow skiing, waterfowl hunting and going up to the Wasatch Mountain Range. The Draper, UT area is such a great community full of so many things to do. I am truly grateful to be able to provide insurance services and give back in any way possible.
We are at 254 East 12200 South, Ste 200, Draper, UT 84020 East of Draper Heights Shopping Center where Kohls, Michaels, Ross and In and Out Burger are across the street from the Draper Post Office (South).

Ballard's Iceberg is one of the local and office favorites!
āThe One and Onlyā Ballardās Iceberg Drive-Inn opened its doors in June of 1960 by Allen and Alice Mae Ballard. Alice Mae was looking to open a business of her own when she was introduced to a man named Hap Vitale who had a business model and building design for a fast-food franchise. There was another location on 3900 South & 900 East owned by Lamar Sorenson. Mr. Vitale, apparently gave up on the franchise, and these were two separately owned and operated family businesses. Mr. Sorenson later sold. The business was built in front of the Ballardās home, where it is still located to this day. Alice Mae and her husband Allen ran the business for years. Later joined by their son Don, who took over management of the business, and has since been a full-time hands-on owner who can be seen every day grilling up freshly made to order burgers and fries. Alice Mae was still working and helping out until her death in 2008 Making this the Original āOne and Onlyā Ballardās Iceberg Drive.
